Adam's defensive anger dropped suddenly at the mention of a priestess, and the surprise showed clear on his face as his blush deepened.
Just a few days ago, Persephone had equated his role to that of a priestess, and said that in ancient times priestesses would tend the line the way Adam was doing now. Having the guardian demand a priestess was too much of a coincidence.
And yet the implication was that he wanted Persephone here, not Adam. A priestess, not a magician.
Looking down at his hands, Adam considered the possibilities, and his own certainty that he was supposed to be here. He had to admit that it was likely that he was only feeling how much he wanted to belong here, and that if a priestess was needed, it should probably be Persephone.
"I have a mentor," he admitted, numbly. "She referred to our role as that of priestesses. She can't see the gateway, but I can try to bring her through."
