Dead...Or So We Thought C.3

The next morning, Charles, Jane, Lizzy, and Georgiana were walking towards the square, talking about how they thought they were going to know who was picking them up.  Lizzy was strangely quiet, but no one seemed to notice.  Lizzy was reading the letter again, although she'd long since memorized it.  Lizzy was more looking at the shape of the letters, comparing them to the letters he'd written her so long ago for any sign of trickery.

When they reached the square, Lizzy's head snapped up as she felt the power of a very strong master crawl over her skin. He's even more powerful that Radjedef.  This must be whom Darcy sent.  Following the power closer to its source, Lizzy saw a man who appeared to be around the age of 25 and a woman about the same near the fountain.  When the group approached, the couple turned around.

"Mencheres?"   Georgiana asked when they turned.  "Sire, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, Georgiana.  What a pleasure to see you again."  The man had a faint accent, which Lizzy believed to be of Egyptian origin, it sounded eerily like Radjedef's.  "Surely you remember my girlfriend, Kira.  I'm afraid I don't know your companions.  Perhaps you be so kind as to introduce them to me,"  the man continued.

"Of course I remember Kira.  Forgive me for not greeting you properly, Kira.  I was just overcome at seeing Mencheres here.  Please forgive my oversight," Georgiana said as she turned to the woman.

"I can understand why you would be surprised at seeing us here, considering why we sent you way last time.  I suppose I can forgive you this ONE time," she said with a small laugh as she pulled Georgiana in for a quick hug.

The man, Mencheres, I believe Georgiana called him, is most definitely the source of the power the woman, Kira, has only been changed for ten years, maybe a few more, though she is unusually strong for her age Lizzy thought as she watched the exchange.

"Mencheres, Kira, this is my brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Jane Bingley,"  Georgiana said as the embrace ended and she turned back to her sire.

"A pleasure to meet you," Mencheres said, in a voice as smooth as glass as he raised Jane's hand to touch his lips to the back of it.  Shaking Charles' hand, he said "Bingley, eh?  Darcy's told me about you."

"All good, I hope," Charles joked as the shook the man's hand, almost looking taken back at the power level.

Inclining his head to Bingley, Mencheres turned to Lizzy and said "And you, my dear, must be Darcy's wife, Elizabeth.  It took us so long to find you, with you moving and changing your name every five to ten years.  Darcy was ecstatic when we finally caught up with you."

Giving the man her hand, Lizzy almost pulled it back in surprise.  It's even more powerful than I expected.  He must be able to cloak his power level, but when you touch him directly, it breaks it momentarily.  That would explain why Charles was so taken back.

"Please, if you'll come with me, all of you, we have carriages waiting," Mencheres said, motioning for them to follow as he walked away.

Georgiana followed without hesitation, and after a slight pause, the others followed as well.
