Chapter Fifteen

A s we ate, the others filled me in on their time in Alfheim. Valdan and Alvan were usually around, but they had gone to Bifrost to do their daily trek across the river of fire just before I woke up.

“Did Rosa find us?” I asked.

Xander frowned and shook his head. “No.”

“Joaquin did, though,” Peyton said. “Lucky us.”

My heart lurched. “Wait, Joaquin came back without Rosa?”

“He says she took him to Jotunheim,” Eliot said. “But he didn’t want to stay, so he came back to find us.”

“He just keeps turning up,” Peyton said. “Like a bad penny, as they say.”

“But where is Rosa?”

“We don’t know,” Xander said. “She never came back.”

“She’s in the Jotunheim,” Finn said.

I turned to him. He was so quiet I’d almost forgotten his presence. At home, he’d been quiet, too, but he’d seemed peaceful and chill. Here, he was…faded. Like a shadow of himself. “The giant world?” I asked. “Why is she there?”

He shrugged and poked at his food, some kind of potato patty. I remembered Eliot saying that Finn’s hunches were never wrong. I just hoped Rosa wasn’t stuck there, or that Joaquin hadn’t killed her. I didn’t know why else she wouldn’t come to find us.

We’d just have to find her. We decided to leave the elf world and join Alvan and Valdan at Bifrost first. The more of our pieces we had together, the better, and they were our guides now that Rosa was gone. They knew their way around Yggdrasil and at least a couple other worlds. While in the elven world, the Keens had made friends with the elves, and not just the ones who shared our god. Eliot had even learned a bit of their language and trained to fight with them.

“It’s like being in a video game,” he said with a dopey grin. “I like to geek out on their weapons.”

“And their elven maidens,” I said, trying to sound like it didn’t bother me. I had no claim to him, no right to be possessive when my own heart belonged to all the Keens, not just him. But as usual, my jealous streak wouldn’t listen to reason.

“You’re the only maiden I’m thinking about,” he said, grinning at me across the small wooden table where we’d crowded to eat. They elves had directed them to an empty lodging, which was a tall, round building with one room on each floor like all elven lodges. It had a pointed roof and was six floors in total, though it was much simpler than the Keen’s three-story mansion. The elves with families stayed in the same dwelling every night, but those who were unattached just wandered into whatever lodging and slept with whoever was in that home. To them, it was impossible to own a place, and they couldn’t conceive of kicking someone out.

“Gracelyn says when we stopped interacting with the other worlds, it was literally the year seven A.D. Nothing about Midgard is the same, besides that it’s inhabited by humans. Almost nothing we know about the other eight worlds will be accurate now, either.
