Once they were out of the harbour, a brisk sea breeze ruffled the waves, and they bobbed across the water, heading to the site where the boat had been found. It took them almost an hour to get there, and on the way, they updated everyone about the Nephilim. They stood at the stern of the boat, well away from the wheelhouse so that Nils couldn’t hear them.

“Great. Seven Nephilim spirits loose in Cornwall. Just brilliant,” Newton said, pacing up and down the deck. “And potentially, they might not even be spirits anymore.”

Briar squinted against the sun and lowered her sunglasses. “I can still feel them—not so much on this boat—but I can on the land. They’re growing stronger.”

“Can you pinpoint where they are?” Newton asked eagerly.

“No, unfortunately not. It’s more like I have a subtle awareness of their presence in the atmosphere.”

“Well, no further deaths have to be a good thing, right?” El asked.

“I guess so,” Avery said. “I really wish we knew what they were up to, though.”

“Did Caspian look the slightest bit apologetic for giving the one at St Luke’s enough juice to get out of there?” Reuben asked.

“Not really,” Alex answered, “but I did enjoy punching him.”

“And he didn’t retaliate?” Newton asked, shocked.

“There was too much going on there already. A fight would have been dangerous. And besides, I did it to stop him from struggling. God knows what that Nephilim would have done if it had got to us.”

“And what about today?” Briar asked. “Other than seeing where the crew disappeared from, what’s the plan?”

“I want to see if we can find the Mermaids,” Reuben explained. “I have a spell that should work.”

“Then what? I mean isn’t that dangerous?” Briar asked. “There’re five guys on board, and you will all be susceptible to their call. How can we stop that?” She gestured toward Avery and El. It was a great question, Avery thought. She’d been wondering that herself.

“You’re presuming you won’t be at risk, then?” Newton asked, confused.

“In theory, no,” El explained. “Me and Reu have been doing some homework on Mermaids, and it seems they only target men. We’re hoping that means their call won’t work on us. Of course, we could be wrong. We can spell you all and tie you to the boat if we have to, but we don’t think they’ll be around today. This is more of a tracing spell.”

Reuben elaborated further. “Oswald was convinced that they were walking the land in Mevagissey. Maybe they’re here. I want to see if we can find if they’ve come ashore.”

“Can we detect them on land?” Newton asked. “I mean, will they look different to humans?”

“Folklore suggests they look the same,” Reuben said. “That’s part of their success, but there should be fundamental differences. If we can detect a signature something, we may be able to make a spell to help us find them. I mean, I would imagine there’s a strong water elemental nature to them, even if we can’t see it.”

Avery rubbed her face, frustrated.
