Rufus had heard of many extraordinary things, but this was more than what he expected to hear when he entered the office with Phoebe and her group today. The information, like his emotions were a roller coaster, up one moment and down the other.
He was sure that his body was trembling, and his legs were weightless, they were as weak as jelly, and he was glad that he was not standing anymore. His right hand reached for the glass that was half filled with water, but his quivering fingers could not grasp it, and he almost sent it flying. The panic in him flared but with it came odd relief at least now he was getting some real answers.
His eyes went to Phoebe's neck, peeking at the pendant which Zephyra had made visible. Indeed, it was the Saxon family heirloom. The situation confused him even more now because his wife was in possession of the pendant currently.
