CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Azure watched the light spiral around her as she stepped through the portal. If her mother knew she was on Earth…well, she’d probably laugh. Soon she’d either be queen, or outcast. Why would it matter what she did at this point?

Her stomach sank to her knees when her feet met the ground and she thought she’d be sick, but instead she rose to her full height and shook her head. She refused to get sick on a foreign planet. But as soon as I’m back on Oriceran I’m puking on Monet’s boots, she thought to herself.

“Made the journey in one piece, did you?” the stranger with the jet-black hair asked her.

She looked at the Light Elf named Ever and nodded. Strangely, his ears were suddenly less pointy. “Wait, if you can do that, then can you get into the Land of Terran?” she asked, indicating his ears.

“Probably, but I have no reason to risk it. One Reveal charm, and the people of Terran would have me thrown into a dungeon or jail or whatever they do with trespassers,” he said, waving her forward as they walked through a shiny hallway crammed with people.

Just then Azure noticed the area around her. It wasn’t just strange—it was unworldly. Lights hung in the sky, which wasn’t a sky at all but rather a sort of ceiling. And around her people hurried by carrying strange square bags and holding things to their faces.

“Phones,” Ever supplied. “Nearly everyone on Earth has a cellphone. You’ll see them pressing the things to their ears or tapping on them excitedly. There’s a lot of that, especially in Santa Monica, which is where I’ve taken you. Humans are obsessed with phones.”

“What’s Santa Monica, and why have you brought me here?’ Azure wondered.

“Because you have blue hair and look like a pirate. I had to take you somewhere they wouldn’t judge your look, and where better than Santa Monica where freaks are welcomed?” Ever informed her.

“Sounds like you’ve spent a lot of time on Earth,” she told him as a woman carrying a tiny dog in her purse passed them.

“My mother is from here, and I visit her in the summers. She actually lives down the road from here in Malibu.” He pointed nonspecifically over his shoulder. “However, we are here to make you look human enough to pass in the Land of Terran, so follow me. First things first—we’ve got to fix that hair.”

“Are you sure? I love my hair,” she complained as he pulled her along by her elbow.

“It’s great. I love it too. But show up in the Land of Terran with blue hair and they will chuck you in jail faster than you can pull out your wand. Believe me, there’s no easier way to spot a witch than by her radical hair color.” He tugged her in the direction of a high desk where a bored girl sat.

Ever grinned at the girl, who immediately smiled back. “Hey, baby. How are you today?” he asked, leaning over and sliding his arm around her shoulder.
