Dear Mr. Pukher,

It has been brought to our attention that you and your grandson have been in contact with a young woman who can see Them. The Biancardi twins will meet with you on the 5th of October, at 13:30 at your home.

Please plan accordingly and accommodate them. It would be best if the young woman in question were present.

Sincerely,

Cara DiNapoli

Kandice read the letter twice and gave it to Blake.

"They didn't mention Blake," she said. "Do you think they know about him too?"

"I do not know," Slava said. "However, it is best you come."

"Who are these people?" she asked.

Slava poured them all drinks, "This will take a while."

He started by explaining ancient Rome. Aether Walkers had been a part of the world since before then, but it was in Rome that they were first written about. What he and Lance call The Council, was just older families that had seen them for several generations.

Some families could trace their heritage back hundreds or even thousands of years. During times of great turmoil, many families would die out, so only a handful could trace their heritage back to ancient Rome.

The older families didn't hunt down Aether Walkers, but instead led newer families. There was a constant power struggle where the older families would try to get new families to swear loyalty to their own causes. Slava explained it was close to feudalism—except there were no serfs farming, and families almost never fought against each other.

Slava and Lance weren't tied to any other family, but they worked for many. Cara had asked them to look into Austin. There were no established families in the US. Leaving it up to other European families to look after it.

He went on for over an hour, explaining history, and how some wars had been about ridding the world of Aether Walkers who gained too much power. Through his story it became clear to her why getting rid of the mayor was so important. If he continued to gain more power, he could end up gathering enough influence to be governor of Texas and that would be disastrous.

That's putting it lightly. He could be the next Bush.

The Biancardi twins were excellent fighters, but their main job was to keep an eye on other hunters of Aether Walkers.

"She called the Aether Walkers, Them," Kandice said. "What does everyone else call them?"

"There are many names," Slava said. "So, she calls them, Them, because the name is unimportant."

"Should I worry?"

"I doubt it."

"Are you really going to meet with them?" Blake asked. "These people sound dangerous. Like a secret government."

"They are only dangerous to Aether Walkers," Slava said. "They will not attack you. They just want to find out who you are and what you can do."

"Do you think they know Lance taught me to change?" Kandice asked.

"Maybe," Slava said.

"We need to go," Kandice said. "I need to think this through. I'll call Lance when I've decided if I'll meet them."

"Kandice," Slava said. "It will be best you do. Lance and I will protect you.
