CHAPTER TWENTY

“I TAKE IT from that look on your face that you saw more than you let on from your vision,” Kaleb said once we’d left the inn. I nodded and told him about all the other things I’d seen about the maze, The Mutuari and the blue lanterns. I also provided the details of what I’d seen in regards to the others egging on Torroro to bite the man I’d seen.

“We need to see if The Mutuari has security cameras,” Kaleb decided once I’d finished. “It’s on the border of the portal strip where the trees of the Fey forest run behind it. They may have something we can use.”

Checking my watch comms I said, “I’ll come with you. But after I buy my gown. Otherwise I’ll be backtracking on myself.”

“I’m so not coming with you to buy a dress.”

He visibly cringed at the thought of doing such a thing, so I tucked my arm through his and dragged him along.

“Yes. You are. And you know me. I’ll be in and out in five minutes. It’s not like I have any style.”

Kaleb groaned out loud but let me tug him in the direction of The Rail. Fifteen minutes later, I was eating those words with relish.

“The man is a tyrant,” I said to Kaleb out the side of my mouth as I stood on a small podium with my arms out like a starfish. Kaleb chuckled while he took pleasure in my misery.

As soon as we’d walked into Lavani’s, the owner of the same name had pounced upon me. I vowed I was going to kill Bernard for this when I arrived back at Darkwood.

I’d been poked, prodded, yanked, insulted, and that had all been during the first five minutes. Now they were trying outfits against me after Lavani’s explanation of how he needed to assess my coloring, whatever that was. As a Water Fey with spiky, pale blue hair and white-framed glasses, Lavani took this fashion business way too seriously.

Even Kaleb had tried to get us out of there after he’d laughed several times at my expense. But he’d been no match for Lavani. Oh no. Lavani was as slippery as the element he was banded under.

“Bring me the gold one!” Lavani shouted to his assistant who came running over with a shiny piece of material. The assistant placed the gown against me but it barely touched my skin when he told her, “No. No good. It’s that hair. We need to make it pop. She needs to own it.”

“How about the dark twilight gown that came in yesterday?” his assistant asked, and his hand paused mid-air. He put a finger to his lip then he shook it.

“Yes. Yes. Bring it.”

The assistant raced off and threw the gold gown at the other assistant on standby. The way they were both behaving was as if they were in competition for Lavani’s attention. They were like two eager puppies fighting over a treat. The other assistant caught the gold gown as it smacked her in the face.
