The One Guy raised a hand. “May I enlighten you, Harper? I have done my homework. Even called in a favor or two to get the full story. That’s how I learned of the, well, properties of the Stolen. All in trying to unwrap the mysterious enigma of Ms. Harper Kyles.”

“Don’t kill him,” I said as I watched Harper tense even more. The condescension in the One Guy’s voice made me want to kill him too.

“Talk,” Harper said through gritted teeth.

“Children are taken all the time by the faeries and exchanged for changelings,” the One Guy explained. “That explains much of the criminal underworld in human society. You would not believe how many of the more successful crime lords are actually changelings. Of course, most have no idea what they truly are, and in truth, it makes no difference one way or the other.

“Now, let me make something clear, only a small percentage of the children taken to the faerie dimension are the Stolen. There is a difference. Most humans are raised to be slaves and servants for the faerie elite. Workers that can’t fight back because humans are shit at magic by nature and in the faerie dimension? Forget about it.”

“Then who are the Stolen?” Harper asked. Her voice was even and measured. Good for her.

“Oh, those are the special children. The babies sought after across the globe. Only a few come around in every generation. The children that have that spark, that predisposition towards the magical. Left alone they would become more than human. But taken by the faerie, they become the Stolen. Power exponential. Some have become the greatest magic users ever. You’ve probably heard of a few.”

“Daphne got herself one and turned her into a killer instead of a witch or sorceress? Sounds like a waste, pal,” I said.

“Depends on what you want killed,” the One Guy said. “And don’t ask. I don’t know that part. But it has to be god level. At the very least, dragon level.”

“You think Harper can kill a dragon?” Lassa asked. “Dude, I love her like family, but that’s a bit much.”

“I could,” Harper said so quietly that we almost didn’t hear her over the road noise.
