Chapter Fifteen: Reunions

While Hip managed the dreams of the mortals and followed Selene around the dark side of the earth, bringing slumber to those who needed it, he also hovered with Aether above the Canadian Rockies, waiting for the Giant to eat the herb that would make him cough up Ares’s leg.

The Giant was still blind from having his eyes gouged out. Hip had no idea if the blindness was permanent; nevertheless, the beast’s acute sense of hearing and of smell more than made up for it. The Giant knew he wasn’t alone, as his aggressive stance clearly demonstrated, but if Hip and Aether didn’t see where the leg was regurgitated, they might not ever find it. Unlike the Giant, who could be tracked by Aether, using gravity and magnetism, the leg could perish in the ice and eventually be unsalvageable.

Hip’s impatience with the Giant vanished the moment Jen and Muggie entered the Fields of Asphodel and embraced him. Muggie instantly fell asleep in his arms. He kissed the boy’s cheek and lay him in the flowers, in the warm spot on which Hip had just been lying himself. Then he turned his full attention to Jen.

“You certainly know how to make life interesting,” he said to her.

“Don’t give me a hard time about it, Hip.” She threw her arms around his neck. “Just kiss me and tell me you forgive me.”

He pressed his mouth to hers—harder than he had intended. She responded by taking his hair in her fists and pulling him down into the flowers beside the sleeping child.

Back at the Canadian Rockies, Aether said something to Hip telepathically.

What did you say? Hip asked the white god of the upper air.

I said he’s eating the herb.

But Hip had long forgotten about the herb and the Giant and Ares’s leg. The only thing he cared about at the moment was Jen, holding Jen, loving Jen.
