7-Harlan and Eventine ♦♦

Timber sat down, straddling a log to face Burton.

“Just after the bears chased off Khain, the little dragen baby, Kendra, was born, and what a shitshow that was for two reasons.” Timber ticked the points off on his fingers. “First—Leilani traveled through time to get a peek at Jaggar and when he saw her, his beast got excited, but the rest of us got nervous, since none of us had ever seen the beast, and the Citlali were scared of it.”

Burton nodded along, his expression contemplative.

“Second—Conri was helping Remington with Heather’s labor and he stuck her with a needle. Kendra—keep in mind that she was literally still cooking in her mama’s belly—well, she decided he hurt her mom, and he was gonna get it as soon as she came out. Just fry his ass like a chicken nugget.”

Burton chuckled. “She’s a firecracker.”

“She’s a lit match in a bomb factory, but everything worked out. Graeme took her to a fire world to be born while Conri ran for his life. Shortly after, our team found Leilani at the Roosevelt Asylum hopped up on sedatives and antipsychotic drugs. She’d been there since she was a child and every time she used her power, they assumed she was having a psychotic episode or something, and they’d pump her with enough drugs to knock out an elephant. The strange thing was, we’d had officers out there before, looking for her, but she had no records and the staff didn’t recognize her description. We’ve got an ongoing investigation into the situation but it keeps leading nowhere. Graeme says it’s likely there was repeated time travel involved. We can send you the reports.”

Canyon looked at Burton, eyebrow raised, his phone at the ready. Burton nodded. Canyon tapped his screen a few times and Burton’s phone dinged.

“They got Leilani out of there, and moved her into Trent’s room, with Ella taking care of her, and Remington managing a gradual weaning off the drugs. She was circling the drain for a while and no one could figure out why—come to find out, all that time travel must’ve zapped her eyeballs because she went blind and she was hanging out in the meadow with Eventine instead of in her body.”

“Mm,” Burton said, his expression troubled.

“Eventine, from the meadow, was able to get into Leilani’s body when Leilani wasn’t in it… and that’s how Harlan almost got murdered.”

Straight-up mauled.

Timber nodded. “I would call it a mauling. Harlan kissed Leilani, thinking she was Eventine, and Jaggar saw it and hulked out into the beast. He mauled Harlan, and ran off, heading north. Harlan ‘bout lost his shit, thinking Eventine was somehow alive, but in Leilani’s body. Conri told him that Abigail White was a foxen witch who could get Eventine a new body, and the reason we didn’t know this is because she could do disappeary shit and hide from us with magic. By this time, Seb had already figured that out. We weren’t so sure—” Timber motioned to himself and Canyon.
