CHAPTER THIRTY

“What do you mean, you’re okay with what I did?” Liv exclaimed when Sophia entered the Fantastical Armory. She had an hour to kill before Lee would have the baked goods ready and decided to stop by to ensure Liv wasn’t getting murdered for helping her get the kanike. It appeared she wasn’t.

The elf known as Father Time was smoking what appeared to be a peace pipe and regarding Liv placidly. He gave Sophia no notice as she came into the shop and halted next to her sister.

The hippie elf was wearing a T-shirt that said, If you’re not barefoot, then you’re overdressed. He blew out a plume of smoke. “I’m Father Time—”

“Yes, we have met,” Liv said, her fists by her side. “You gave me that stupid two-minute timer because I’m always two minutes late and you thought it would be cute, but as an elf, you’re just annoying. You were cute as a gnome.”

“I also liked myself better when I didn’t make friendship bracelets and smoke peyote, but alas, this is the form I’ve reincarnated into,” Papa Creola relayed, laying the pipe down on the countertop. “I, of course, knew from seeing glimpses of future events that Sophia would ask you to help her get the herb to delay Serena Sweetwater’s aging. I knew that since you’ll do anything your family asks you to, you would help her, thereby ignoring my law about messing with aging, death, and time.”

“But you’re okay with it!” Liv roared, strangely upset she wasn’t in trouble.

Papa Creola nodded. “Who do you think let it slip to King Rudolf Sweetwater there was such a herb in India that could extend his wife’s life?”

Liv’s eyes widened. “It was you? I’ve been keeping him from it for weeks! You could have clued me in and saved me a ton of time and trouble.”

“As was your job to keep others from things that mess with the flow of time and aging. You were not supposed to allow him to get to the herb. The timing had to be just right. It had to be in exchange for the twenty million dollars Sophia needed.” Papa Creola picked up the pipe and offered it to Liv.

She pushed it away. “Get that away from me, you dirty hippie.”

Not at all offended, he took a pull on the pipe, shrugging like it was her loss.

“So you coordinated this whole thing, even though it defies your own laws?” Liv asked, still livid. “I don’t get it. Explain.”

“Liv, there’s a time to uphold and defend the laws, and then there’s a time when I must know when to flex them.” He pointed to Sophia. “As your dragonrider sister so thoughtfully explained to you when convincing you to break my laws, this is for a good cause. The king of the fae will be happier, and a happy king makes for prosperous people. His halfling children will have a better future, which is important since they have an important destiny.
