Sybbyl stared ahead into the inky blackness of night. Somewhere out there, Helena hid. The witch somehow knew she was after her, but Helena would only get so far. Sybbyl was quickly gaining ground. It was just a matter of time.

It took a great deal of magic for her to move herself, not to mention the three witches with her, across miles in a blink of an eye. But it was worth the pain it caused to catch up to Helena so quickly.

She wanted the witch on her side, but Sybbyl was well aware that after everything that had occurred between Helena and the Coven, the witch might refuse.

Sybbyl anticipated that along with the thought that Helena would go down fighting. That would simply never do. Sybbyl would have to come up with some way to hold Helena captive and get her with child. Once the babe was born, there would be another descendant of the First Witch, and Sybbyl would have no need of Helena.

She could kill the witch and raise the baby as her own, which meant that the Living Heart would then belong to her and the Coven just as the Staff of the Eternal did.

Sybbyl knew it wouldn’t be easy to hold Helena and get her with child. But with magic, all things were possible. She just had to find the right spells. Once she had something to focus on, Sybbyl was as tenacious as they came.

She was so focused on her chase that she was surprised by Avis’s sudden arrival. The other witches were just as shocked to see the witch.

“What are you doing here?” Sybbyl demanded. “I sent you out to find the warlock.”

Avis gave a shake of her head. “He is not an easy one to locate, but I was able to track him.”

“Here?” she asked.

The witch nodded.

Sybbyl narrowed her gaze as she resumed looking into the distance. What were the odds that the warlock and Helena were together? Things couldn’t be that easy for her.

Could they?

Sybbyl smiled and glanced at the staff in her hand. It was all thanks to one object that everything she wanted was falling into place so easily.

Then she paused, her head jerking to Avis. “How did you find the warlock?”

“It was a spell my mother showed me long ago. I cast it, searching for magic different than my own. It is similar to a locator spell, but since I do not know the person, I look for magic instead.”

Sybbyl walked to the witch and smiled at her. “What did you find?”

“Strong magic, unlike anything I have ever seen or felt before. We can feel when a witch does magic, but I sensed nothing in the locations I visited.”

“How do you know you are heading in the right direction?”

“The magic is fresher with each location,” Avis replied. “Then it stopped. Nothing. Until just a little while ago.”

“In this direction?” Sybbyl asked.

Avis nodded, smiling.

She looked at the three witches behind her. “It looks like I am going to get both Helena and my warlock this night.
