Chapter Fifty-Four
The sun was setting beyond the horizon when we caught sight of the Abbey sitting cross-legged in the middle of the grand hall with a scroll laid open in front of him, but what was more intriguing than the sight of him, was the single ray of sun that shone on the scroll from the decorated skylight.
“The light of the seeker,” I mumbled and walked into the hall with Jasper hot on my heels.
“Come, sit with me.” The Abbey motioned to us without looking our way and we quickly took a seat on either side of him.
“The lotus flower symbolises purity and rebirth.” He pointed to the illuminated flower which was engraved on the wooden scroll and Jasper and I shared a look.

Leaving the Temple of Lang Dui was heart-rending, but as Jasper and I embarked on the third leg of our quest, we were both a little different than we’d been yesterday.The walk back to the village was silent, with neither of us willing or knowing how to bring up the events of the past twenty-four hours, we still weren’t certain where our clue would lead us, but I was certain we were headed in the right direction.“Where to from here?” Jasper asked when we sat down at a pub and grill for lunch.“I’m not quite sure yet.” I bit my lip, I hated the uncertainty, but I had to follow my gut no matter what.&l

Jasper and I left the eatery in a hurry, leaving our food half-eaten and our waiter shocked by the sudden turn of events. Jasper was keeping a ridiculous distance between us and I was yet to understand what was going on.The sudden change in his demeanour was both shocking and hurtful, but I pushed my feelings away as I studied the look of pure terror and panic on his face.“Jas, stop.” I called when we were a good few metres beyond the treeline, but he continued marching on, “Jasper!” I roared and as if I pushed a button his footsteps halted.I was about to grab his arm when his body swung around, stopping my movements, “What are you doing, I said don’t touch me!”

A figure lurking around the corner caught my eye as we passed a shop window, the same figure I’d seen at the market and previously in the airport. “We’re being followed,” I remarked casually. “I know, it’s one of Dark’s men,” Jasper replied easily and I had to hide my surprise. “You know him?” I glanced at the window again, but I had lost sight of the man clad in a white Thobe. “I’ve seen him around.” Jasper shrugged and suddenly pulled me into a crowded eatery. “Go order something, I’ll check if there’s a way out back.” I couldn’t help glancing out the window as I ordered food at the counter, the street was busy but I could see the back of the man facing me as he watched me in the reflection on a window. “Here you go, Madam.” The server handed me a paper bag with the snack I ordered and I accepted it with a fake smile before moving to the back of the eatery where I saw Jasper sitting. “The only way out is through the kitchen, I figured if we make a run for it we can make

I lifted my forehead from the ground where I kneeled before the Goddess, seeking her eternal blessings for the battle that lay before me when my eye caught a picture laying on the ground.The postcard was somewhat obscured by the shadow cast by the statue, but as I reached forward I knew it wasn’t there by accident.“What is it?” Jasper asked when he saw me looking at the card.“It’s a postcard,” I answered distractedly.The picture was of yet another temple, the inscription at the bottom read “Wolves Nest Monastery, Indonesia.”“Turn it over, what does it say?” I flip

Trotting through the forest with blood-matted fur, I listened carefully for any sign of Jasper and the creep. After walking for a good few minutes I heard a commotion in the distance and Jasper’s earthy scent was accompanied by the awful smell of blood and burnt flesh.Jasper was definitely enjoying this.From a distance, I could see the man back up against a tree with Jasper’s red hot hand circling his throat. Jasper was dressed only in a pair of washed-out jeans which hung low on his hips. He looked hot.“Did you think you would do Dark’s bidding and get to live to see tomorrow?” Jasper tilted his head, watching the man burning and choking with no remorse.“He&

The Wolves Nest Monastery was by far the most extravagant of the temples we’ve visited in the past weeks. The royal, yet modern architecture surrounded by neatly trimmed gardens gave it an extravagant outlook which I couldn’t help but admire.The golden pillars made my hands itch to touch them, but I was too afraid of besmirching the perfectly shiny surface.“This place is extraordinary,” Jasper commented, looking around in just as much awe as I did.“The Abbey will see you now.” The woman who escorted us in, motioned to the open door and bowed as we entered.“Hello?” I called wearily when I didn’t see anyone.

“The second key is to be spoken aloud.” He smirked at us, the mocking in his eyes spoke volumes of his faith in our capabilities.“You seem certain we will not be able to unlock it?” I narrowed my eyes at him and his smirk widened.“Many have tried little girl.” His mocking tone irked me.“My name is Sophia Hastings, you’ll do good to remember that.” I eyed him through my lashes, feeling the familiar burn of anger coursing through my veins.I took another look at the Talisman with the Moon mother perched behind it and my eyes fell shut.‘We are one.’

“I never thought I’d say this, but- it’s good to be home.” Jasper looked down at me with a satisfied grin.“I never thought I’d hear you say that.” I chuckled with disbelief.“Well, now you're stuck with me.” He leaned down to whisper huskily in my ear making a shiver run down my spine.“Good.” I bit my lip to contain the pleasure I felt.“Sophia!” Ben’s voice rang through the busy airport the instant we stepped through the sliding doors into arrivals.“Ben?” gasped in astonishment when his long arms engulfed my tiny body.&n
