Jacob insisted Tristan hitch a ride back to Louisiana with them. They waited until Sebastian’s body was prepared, and Jonathan secured the transport from Trondheim. Harriett would be prepared on a pyre that night and sent down the River Farvann. They would stay for that, and then be on their way.

The Quinlans, and those Empyreans living outside of Farjhem, planned to stay another day or two for the celebrations. Tristan had no gaiety in him, and neither did the others returning home with him, though they had saved their loved one. But Tristan understood… the Deschanels may have won in the end, but they had suffered dearly along the way… ah, how they had suffered! Unlike the Empyreans, who could measure their lives in millennia, the Deschanels held dearly to the short lives they were given, and they felt each loss to their marrow. A victory here meant their future suffering would soften, but it didn’t mute what they’d already lost.

“We leave in the morning,” Jacob said as they stood side by side watching Harriett’s pyre built. “We should be home in about three days.”

“Three? Why so long?”

“We’re stopping in Ireland.”

Tristan started to ask the question, but the answer came to him. Of course Aleksandr would go to where his heart was. Who wouldn’t?

He pressed his hand to his own heart, where Harriett’s amulet burned warm against his soft flesh.
