Chapter 19

Enyo watched Keras as he sat beside Marek at the low dining table, his eyes on the screen of the laptop Marek had open in front of him. Worry arrowed through her and not for the first time since Esher had closed the gate in Hong Kong. It had hit her from time to time over the last few days, most often when she was watching Keras like this and he was unaware of her.

Didn’t try to hide his own worry and fatigue from her.

Not that he could really hide it from her.

Enyo could feel it in him.

He wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make him take a break though, brushed her off and carried on working, poring over all the information he and his brothers had gathered over the years, trying to figure out the enemy’s next move.

Keras was sure the enemy would want to rescue the witch.

Enyo wasn’t so sure. It had looked to her as if the furie had been intent on abandoning the female.

The enemy’s next move wasn’t the only thing weighing heavily on Keras though. Esher still hadn’t woken, showed no signs of regaining consciousness. Cassandra had used spells on him every day, checking his condition. The only good news was that it wasn’t getting worse.

It wasn’t getting better either.

“I could take another look in her mind,” Keras said, words that had Enyo moving because she was damned if that was going to happen.

“You hit a wall last time.” Her voice seemed loud in the long room of the mansion, a house that had been too quiet since they had brought Esher back from Hong Kong.

The air in the mansion was sombre, had sucked the light right out of everyone. Even Calistos was quiet, all of his jokes and wisecracks nowhere to be found now that they all badly needed someone to brighten the mood.

“I can break through it.” Keras looked at her, his green eyes as serious as she had ever seen them.

She shook her head, because that wasn’t the only feeling that shone in them. There was despair too, and a lot of fatigue. Too much fatigue. The episodes he suffered were growing further apart, but they were still a daily occurrence, and more than once she’d had to convince him that he didn’t need his pills, and had weathered his anger as the darker side of him had surged to the fore. Those episodes were taking their toll on him as well as Esher’s condition.

Pushing himself now was a sure way of triggering another episode.

“If you probe her mind right now, who knows what will happen. I heard about the incident with the wraith.” As those words left her lips, his green eyes narrowed and he looked at each of his brothers in turn.

All of them diligently avoided meeting his gaze.

No one wanted to be the one to confess they had told on him.

She was glad his brother Ares had told her about it, even when it tormented her.
