CHAPTER ELEVEN

FREY’S SMILE HADN’T left her face as she quietly observed my mother. She was exquisite. Her pale skin held no lines of age, nor did her hands. Her brunette hair hung over her shoulder in a loose braid held by no band or barrette I could see. Her dress clung to her like a second skin, its jeweled bodice glistening in the light. I followed her dress down towards her feet, her painted pink toes peeking out from beneath the hem of the skirt.

“Parabellum is a stone of two,” she began. “I created the original stone to hold all the knowledge of the Oley, knowledge you will need. I knew that with my passing into essence, I would be the last of the Oley, and as such, needed to preserve our knowledge to help with the battles of the kinds to follow.”

“What do you mean the kinds? Did you know there would be a separation between the Tanzieth and the Stalisies? Couldn’t you stop it?”

“The Oley never looked upon the interspecies couplings as anything but a joyous expression of love. But when several Stalisies sought to love humans, they were asked to leave Sayeesies and thereafter be known as Tanzieth. This act of hate was the telling; it was time for me to leave, and I ascended into essence. Even if I had seen the division of the Fey species, I could not have stopped it. I do not have that kind of power.”

“But aren’t you’re the most powerful? Couldn’t the prophecy be about you, not me?”

“Des!” my mother scolded. “Frey is passed, as too am I. Prophecies relate to the living, not the essence.”

“Fine, it was worth a shot. You try being the told you have to fight a terrible evil, see how well you take it?”

“Don’t sulk, Des. You are stronger than you think. Now listen to Frey—we don’t have a lot of time.”

Frey hovered about a meter from the ground, her head tilted to the side as she took in our interaction. Smiling, she came to settle her bare feet on the rug, curling her toes into the thick pile.

“Parabellum is the first stone I created, and I hid it in the trunk of a young sapling, allowing it to grow within it. Parabellum can protect your strength on its own, but it needs to join with the other stone—a shard, really—to be at full effect. I embedded it in a rock face, high in Narcita Falls. When the shard is joined with Parabellum, it will offer you complete protection.”

“So I’m like Superman; the Dazerarthro won’t be able to hurt me. Do I get a cape?”

“No,” my mother replied. “The protection is of your power, not your life.”

Crap. “So, I just need to go get the shard. I’ll climb Narcita Falls and get it and then it can join with Parabellum and I’ll be protected?”

“Not quite.” She said frowning.

Double crap. “Why not?”

“It’s not there anymore.” Frey interjected.

“Then where is it?”

Frey moved over to where I sat, wafting between my father and Jax with ease.
