I left Lea to see to the preparations of the greenhouse. She assured me she’d set a Fae sigil into the warding when it was ready. The sigil would lead Sindra’s people to their new temporary home. A magical homing beacon.

I had other work to do and it looked like I’d be doing it alone. That thought didn’t fill me with as much despair as it should have.

I had an idea.

Turning to my friend, I said six words I never dreamed I’d say to anyone. “I need to borrow your frog.”

Lea narrowed her gaze on me. She looked, for a moment, as if she would argue, but something in my expression must have warned her off. She nodded instead. “Come with me to the greenhouse. He’s in the pond.”

I frowned. “I didn’t know you had a pond in the greenhouse.” It was good news ─ one less thing for Lea to do before the Fairies could be called home.

“It’s new. I created it just for Wally.”

I fought to keep a straight face. “Wally?”

Lea grinned. “My frog. The name just came to me. Isn’t it great?”

I really didn’t want to comment on what it was, so I settled for a nod.

The greenhouse all but filled an entire empty lot behind Lea’s shop, Herbal Remedies with Mystical Properties. She’d purchased the empty lot for almost nothing when she acquired her current shop. The lot was a virtual island, with zero street access. Buildings had been constructed all around it. When the planning had been done for our street, the space had been slated as a parking lot for Croakies. At the last moment, the owner of Croakies, an ancient sorcerer named Bandy Joe Barrows, had told the city he no longer wanted to purchase the lot.

It had been a dirty trick on his part. The acreage was basically landlocked at that point. The only access was an alley between Lea’s shop and Croakies, and nobody wanted to pay the exorbitant rates Bandy Joe was going to charge to get to it.

Not to mention there would be no visibility for the location.

The end result is that Bandy Joe created a magical buffer which came in very handy when the KoA in place had to deal with a particularly…rambunctious…magical artifact.

For example, there’d been a pink elephant once. Her name had been Rosalynn. I’d had to house her in the lot for a full two weeks because she refused to enter the artifact library.

Fortunately, for Sebille and me, people tended to ignore pink elephants. Therefore, nobody on the street seemed to notice there was one living right under their noses, trumpeting, rolling a giant pink ball around, and pooping mountains they could have skied down.

When Lea bought Herbal Remedies, she’d also purchased the orphaned lot, and had added the enormous greenhouse so she could grow her own stock.

I loved visiting Lea’s greenhouse. No matter the weather outside, the temperature inside was always a constant seventy-four degrees. She’d also created a magical weather system that provided
