16: Lies and Rumors of Lies

Marielle

He loved bunnies. He was cooing to them as his father spoke in the background. He seemed too old for that – fourteen maybe and his full height though a little gawky, but the sweet expression on his face as he tended them made him look younger than he was. Azure faintly tinged him with the scent of aspens – gentleness.

“He’ll be fine for the Alchemists. He’s clever. He reads. Valuable. You’ll be happy you paid such a low price for him.”

He was trying not to listen, that was clear, as he put them back in their hutches, petting each head and offering green plants to them. It was a goodbye. And the sad swirls of wisteria scent that spun around him mingled with his golden warm honey and cinnamon scent and drew her in. She wished she could comfort him. Wished she could help him. Wished she could draw every thread of that wisteria purple from him and cast it away until he was all golden beauty without this thick wrapping of sadness.

He flickered. And then he was in a gondola beside Etienne and they were both staring at the sleeping form of a dragon, half-buried in mud. And he smelled just as sad in the boat. Puffs of wisteria filled the boat and drifted behind him down the river.

A spirit that looked like a King shot up from his form, ghostly and pale blue.

“You’re not welcome here,” he said to her, authoritatively.

She gasped. He could see her? Then the red-haired woman had not been a mistake at all. There were spirits claiming Tamerlan.

“He’s mine,” the ghost said.

He flicked a finger and she tumbled away, rolling through history and time. She was standing in the swirling snow beside a man wrapped in rags, a sword in each hand and a wild look in his eyes. A cage stood beside him, door flung open, and inside it, a single shell lay. It pulsed turquoise with magic. The man licked his lips and then the vision was gone and Marielle tumbled back into the whirl of time.
