Chapter 19

Discovering the Spire was almost enough to make Charlotte forget her upset with Ulric. Almost.

The sanctuary was housed in a skyscraper with fifty-nine floors. It looked like a typical office building on the outside, but inside, it was very different.

The tool Isadora used to transport them from Julian's home, called a Spire Shard, was actually an enchanted piece of the building that had a single use for teleporting to the Arboretum on the fiftieth floor. It sported all kinds of plant life and decorative fountains, including various marble spheres enchanted for travel.

With a touch, a user could teleport from there to any Spire in the world.

A Keeper recorded the people coming and going, and if a traveler had no official business there, they'd never make it through the doors, which were magically sealed as a security measure.

So the spheres weren't meant to be used for leisure, and neither were the shards, which made sense when the various Orders governing different races operated from inside the peaceful environment offered. So a Spire wasn't unlike a foreign embassy, though, perhaps supernatural embassy fit it better.

Each floor had a different function, such as living quarters and conference rooms, and one of them was dedicated to recreation alone. But the most interesting level to Charlotte was the fifty-fifth, which housed the Mystic Market.

If anything drew supernaturals to a Spire, it was the mystical goods they could purchase from the vendors running various shops in the Market, all trying to compete for business.

There were also a few clothing boutiques on the lower levels—human accessible—which sold a number of styles and accessories. Isadora purchased a few things for Charlotte to wear, and while she normally didn't like having people spend money on her, having something to change into was so relieving that she didn't complain.

Isadora procured a room for Charlotte on the fifteenth floor, and the living space made her entire apartment seem like a shack. The rugs looked too exotic to be stepped on, the bed too luxurious to be slept in with it’s deep violet and burgundy drapes and canopy, and Charlotte could only imagine what kind of food they might serve, but figured it was probably too fancy to eat.

It made her wonder why anyone would even want to leave, which she asked Isadora in passing.

Her answer was simple. “Trust me, it gets boring after a while. Nice for a vacation maybe, but I wouldn’t want to spend eternity here.”

Charlotte supposed that was true, not that she was going anywhere until a few things were settled—namely her life.

But being in a safe haven now, she could afford a little relaxation, which came in the form of getting a long bath to clear her head of everything bothering her. She spent an hour just soaking in the hot water alone, and felt so much better afterward, she thought she could handle anything.

It was after dark when she finally got out, dressing in a purple top and a pair of blue jeans as a knock came to her door.
