The Keepers

Loshe

Loshe was both angry and impressed, her evening passed without Jabari returning to her room.  She hoped that by appealing to his vanity she could speak to the agile caster in the privacy of her room.  When Jabari didn’t return Loshe considered all that she had seen the beautiful young man do. The young Greek was such a perfect candidate for The Keepers  that the next morning she declared the young sorcerer her protégé to the consigliore.  Declaring a protégé in absentee was the most humiliating experience, occurring in front of the other keepers whose protégés appeared alongside them and would be partaking in several events at the Continental.  Loshe would not be present for the yearly ceremonies.  Keeper Loshe gathered her gear, along with a dowry, leaving  Hagar Qim to chase after Jabari and convince him of his destiny.
