“I didn’t realize we would have such distinguished company,” the woman said, raising her hand so a nice flow of lava cut off my father’s escape.

He turned and frowned at the woman. “No? I apologize. Have we met? Surely I would remember a woman of your exquisite grace and charm.”

I rolled my eyes.

The witch batted her eyelashes at him. “Would you care to stay in the dungeon for a spell?” She tittered again.

His mustache twitched. Her reaction was immediate, big eyes and big sighs. The mustache was a work of seduction when it came to Darkside witches. How terrifying. I would have to tell Ian.

“This gentleman is the mage that the deception sorcerer used to pay off the debts you held,” Revere said, gesturing at my father.

My father nodded soberly like wasn’t that a shame. He was wearing a smoking jacket. Who wears that kind of thing? I needed one. Ten. Penny would love them. Would she like being kissed by a mustache? My chest ached and I growled at no one in particular, no, my father.

“If you’d come in for a bite, I’m certain we could come to terms over this misunderstanding,” she purred while the magma popped.

Revere stepped between her and my father. “I suggest a very fine French restaurant…” And with that he was setting my father up with a Darkside Sorceress. That was exactly what he needed.

After they agreed to a time and place to ‘discuss things’ in Dayside, we all stepped Throughside, Revere disappearing and me accompanying my father back to Huntsman Manor. I still had a few explosives in my bucket.

I put them down on the fine hall table and glanced at my reflection in the mirror. A bit sooty.

“That’s what you’ve been doing? I take it that was her stepfather.”

I nodded and glanced at my father’s reflection where he stood at my shoulder. The picture of a broken mage pretending to be whole. “You’re going to have an enchanting evening.”

He brushed lint off his smoking jacket. “I have an appointment the next evening with Madame Pennmore. I will prefer the sorceress.”

I shuddered at the thought of Wit’s mom. “If you marry her, I’ll disown you.”

He laughed, sharp and rich. “I’ll disown me. I suggest you go back into Darkside tonight and spend some time with your troops. They seem to be getting a little unruly.”

“Details.”

He shrugged. “If they don’t have a specific paid battle to fight, which we don’t have a great deal of right now with all of the fighting on the wrong side we were doing, they go for conquest.”

“Conquest. Huntsman armies overthrowing mages without any provocation?”

He shrugged. “There’s always provocation, but yes. You have to babysit your minions more closely.”

I cursed but I lacked energy for it. That’s what you get when you have Darksiders swear fealty to you.

“You should take Zachary with you. As your ally, this is exactly the sort of thing you should involve him in.”

“He makes a mess.”

“He needs to learn to make the right kinds of messes.
