- A favor. What kind of advice? I mistrusted.

He invited me to sit, directing his emerald eyes on the chair in front of him, and continued:

- Call me Linéas, I beg you. I will be direct. I wish you to take the position you would have had without this abandonment.

- I want to tell you, Linéas, that I'm not sure I want to accept. The attitude of your colleagues during this tournament made me rather uncomfortable.

- I fully understand you, and that's why I want you to be the leader of the group we have formed.

The stupor left me silent for several seconds.

- Sorry ? You want me as a chef? It's a joke ?

- I assure you, no, said Lines, with a little glimmer of mischief in his eyes of intense green.

- Well. So it's not a joke ...?

- Absolutely not.

I remained dubious, but was reassured by the firm attitude he maintained.

- Okay. And what will I be the leader, please? I asked him.

After all, even Mnemésyne did not have the slightest idea what it was all about. He thought a moment, before adding:

- No need to hide anything, your friend Mnemésyne will tell you sooner or later. We are creating a group of people who can, among other things, do good on this Earth, protect this planet and many others.

- An entire program ! Why is your choice on me?

It was so big and absurd as a statement that I really did not see what to say anymore.

- You have shown respect and compassion to Angal. You also knew how to affirm your choices by refusing a fight. It seems, then, that you show discernment and empathy. That's why I want you to lead this Order. I need someone who can unify the group, make the right decisions and enforce them; and that without losing sight of the values ​​of our civilization.

- I would be able to all that, according to you? I am surprised.

- I'm sure of it, he said firmly.

- You do not even know me. How can you say it?

All these compliments and this proposal made me uncomfortable. " Accept ". I did not know what to think. I was nothing more than a country girl working mostly in the orchards. What could it hide?
