Damien and Luc got into the carriage and Damien placed the book and the Note in a inner pocket of his coat. “So where are we going to go now” Luc asked. “We are going into the noble quarter now” Damien said and signaled the driver. The carriage started moving “So about the book. What did you learn from it” Luc asked. Damien pulled the book out and handed it to him. “It is the closest to a perfect copy that I have seen yet. I think it means that they are getting close to their goal. I am not sure what will happen at that point, but I hope there is still time.” Damien said. Luc nodded and handed the book back to Damien. Damien put the book back in his pocket and looked at Luc. “The place we are going it is going is called the White Flower. You need to be careful while we are there” Damien said. “Why do I need to be careful?” Luc said smiling. “Because I know you and you will try to indulge, and you need to be careful about indulging in the White Flower. Damien said seriously. The carriage rattled down the road and came to a stop. Luc got out and looked around the buildings around him and were made of shaped marble and shone in the light. The building that the carriage stopped in front of was a multi-story building with many terraces and walled courts. Damien got out and stood next to Luc and they went into the building. Luc was struck as he saw beautiful women in fancy dresses. They walked or sat by themselves or in small groups. Many of the women that saw them smiled at them. “Damien is this place what I think it is?” Luc asked. Damien smiled and looked at him “No it is probably not what you think it is” he said, “remember be careful”. They stopped in a well decorated hall with doors and stairs leading to other places in the building. A beautiful woman came up to them “Hello Gentlemen, how may I help you?” Damien smiled at her “I am here to see Mistress Lily; tell her it is Damien”. The woman’s eyes went wide at the names and curtsied to Damien before heading up the stairs. While Damien and Luc stood waiting a group of women approached. “Well, aren’t you both handsome” One of the Women said. Luc stared open mouthed at the women. “Perhaps you want to come and have a meal with us handsome?” She asked looking at Luc. Luc nodded without a word. The woman turned to Damien “How about you?” She asked smiling. Damien smiled back “I am waiting for someone and will be along in a moment”. The woman smiled and she and her group moved away leading Luc along with them. A short time after the women left with Luc a voice called down from the top of the stairs. “Well, I thought that Kate was leading me on, but it really is you Damien” The Woman standing at the top of the stairs was a pale exquisite beauty in a white gown. “It has been a long time Lily” said Damien.
