Chapter Nine

Ily felt rather than heard his approach and gently unwound herself from John Luke’s embrace. Or tried. She was just about to slide off the bed when he pulled her back.

“Where’re you going in the middle of the night?”

“To answer the door.”

“The door?” He sat up. “Something you want to share?”

“Severin is on his way here.”

“For?”

Ily turned to face him and quickly told him the purpose of Severin’s visit.

“Okay, whatever you need, I’m with you.”

“You don’t have to--“

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to assuage my insecurities and stick with you. Unless you’d rather I didn’t.”

“Actually, I’d appreciate it.” She gave him a kiss, and then climbed off the bed.

John Luke rose and they both dressed. By the time coffee was brewing, there was a knock at the door. “Would you get that?” Ily asked.

“Sure.”

She heard him crossing the room and the sound of the door opening, followed by his voice. “Morning, Severin. Come on in. Coffee?”

“No, thank you.”

“Well, Ily’s in the kitchen. Come on back.”

Moments later, they entered the kitchen. John Luke poured himself a cup of coffee as Ily gestured to the table. She and Severin took a seat across from one another. John Luke poured her a cup of coffee, took both cups to the table, and sat beside her.

“I’ve told John Luke everything.”

“That was wise,” Severin said. “Relationships rarely fare well in an atmosphere of dishonesty and secrets.”

“I agree,” John Luke said. “And I’ll do whatever I can to help all of you.”

“That is appreciated,” Severin replied and then turned his attention to Ily. “May I see your right arm?”

She laid her arm on the table. He whispered an incantation and then ran his hand over her skin. Writing appeared from her wrist to her biceps in three lines.

“What does it say?” John Luke asked.

“I don’t have a clue.” She looked at Severin. “Do you?”

“I do. It is a very ancient form of Fae.”

“What does it say?”

“This is…quite remarkable.” Severin looked up in surprise. “Did Michael ever mention prophetic dreams?”

Ily shook her head. “No, why?”

“Because of this.” He gestured toward her arm. “It’s essentially a set of directions.”

“For what?”

“Helping his daughter Elena find what she needs to realize what she is and banish his spell on the Portal.”

“Why would you ask about prophetic dreams?” John Luke asked.

“Because he thought to do this, and because of the message he left for Ily.”

“What exactly does it say?” Ily asked.

“In a nutshell, we must take a trip.”

“To?”

“Florida.”

“What’s in Florida?” John Luke asked.

“A home Michael owned that must be bequeathed to his daughter and a set of clues that must be left for her to find.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier just to find and tell her?” John Luke asked.

“No,” Ily argued. “This is what King Michael wanted and it’s what I’ll do. But neither of you has to go with me. I can do this alone. Just tell me where to go.”

“I’m afraid you’ll need assistance with this,” Severin said. “Someone with abilities in magic.”

“Any type of magic, or Fae magic?”

“Fae.
