Chapter 13

Arie is dumbfounded. “War?”

“Indeed,” Kallen responds.

Arie dismisses the idea. “This is ridiculous. The Sirens are not strong enough to win a war.”

“What about the ones incarcerated with them?” I ask. “Are they strong enough?”

She thinks for a moment. “It was impossible to release their slaves from the Sirens’ magic.”

“Is that a yes?” Kallen prods.

Kai answers for his wife. “Yes.”

I frown in his direction. “How do you know? You didn’t go near them while they were in captivity, did you?” Captivity. I sound like I’m speaking of tigers or bears. I guess in reality, Sirens are just as dangerous. Maybe we could put them in a zoo for safe keeping. In soundproof cages, of course.

For some reason, Kai is offended by my question. “I did not need to see the proof personally. I have trusted underlings who reported to me on a regular basis the goings on of the Sirens.”

“A little sensitive?” I mutter under my breath.

Arie’s face has become a blank page. I suspect Kai didn’t share this information with his wife. Boy is he in trouble. “If there was need for concern at the time, I am certain Kai would have dealt with it.”

“There is going to be a fish fry tonight!” Taz exclaims from across the room where he’s trying to get to a plate of cookies on a side table. His stubby little legs keep him from being a real threat to the baked goods. “My mouth is watering already. I wonder how much meat there is in a Merman’s tail.”

I ignore Taz, but he might be right. Arie is making excuses for Kai but it’s obvious she’s stewing on the inside. I would hate to be him tonight. He may be hand-delivered to the Sirens if the emotions spurting from Arie’s pores are an indication of things to come.

“It seems there was need for concern,” Dagda points out. “I am curious why you have not shared this information since their escape.” His green eyes are riveted on Kai and it’s not difficult to read his emotions, either. He will gladly help Arie deliver Kai to the Sirens.

Kai, of course, is on the defensive now. “The Sirens have never declared war in the past.”

“Preparing warriors was a good indication they were planning to start,” Kallen observes.

“In hindsight, yes, you are correct,” Kai admits.

As much fun as putting down Kai can be, we are not accomplishing anything. “Enough with the hindsight. Can we try a little forethought now?” I push. All eyes shift from Kai to me. “We need to rally the female Fairies, let them know what they are up against. It’s going to take them a minute to wrap their heads around the idea that they are not only facing the death of their males, but they are then going to be attacked and forced into war. And who’s to say the Sirens won’t make their move when all the males are asleep tonight?” There is a stunned silence. Wow, am I really the only one to think of that?

Kallen reaches for my hand.
