the best laid plans

WESSEX out of the night that covers me “Best not to give the Fae reason to think we’re invading. I’ve heard they’re nasty little creatures. Powerful, too.” She waits while Lucas memorizes, watching his eyes scan, his mind tick. The Fae areas were probably the most dangerous of the areas left, but she wasn’t about to let him take all the glory again. A little healthy competition is good for everyone, right?

When he’s satisfied, she takes the piece of parchment and rolls it back up again, tucking it away in a tight place. “Let’s do this.” The woman rises and turns to go, opening the door with little ceremony, save for a sudden thought, which whips her head back around. “I should have those reading pieces soon. Meet you at the Shrine in the Underground in a couple of days.” And then she’s gone. Thank god for their ability to keep things short and sweet. {FIN!} black as the pit from pole to pole i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul
