Antoine grabs a blanket out of the pack, and spreads it out for us to sit on. I take the fruit I picked in the orchard out and choose another one to try. There's a deep purple fruit, that was round like an orange, but has thin skin like an apple. I take a bite, it was extremely sour. I make a face and spit it out. Antoine falls over laughing. I give him a dirty look.

"I'm sorry my dear, I should have warned you off of that one. It's worse than a lemon until you have honey on it," he says, still laughing.

"Thanks for nothing," I say to him, desperately trying to pick a sweet fruit.

"Here this one tastes like berries," Antoine says, handing me an orange bunch of grape looking fruit.

I pop one in my mouth and it was amazing. It totally replaced the sour taste. It tasted similar to a mixed berry smoothie, only more. I finish the entire bunch, sad I didn't grab more of them.

"Any of the rest of these I should avoid?" I ask Antoine, while giving him a pointed look.

"No, the purple one is the only one," he says around a chuckle.

"I'll remember that next time you try something new," I tease him.

We pack up the rest of the fruits and the blanket, then call our pookas back to saddle them. Zeus comes running back with his tongue lolling out of his mouth. It looks like they're having fun.

"Ok, boy, we need to get going. Can you go back to the horse for me?" I ask him.

He answers by shifting immediately.

"Thank you," I tell him.

As soon as the rest of the men are in their saddles, we continue on. We are back in the trees, and everything smells alive. The air has a different quality in this world, no pollution, it just feels cleaner.

"Why don't humans work with the land like the fae do?" I muse.

"Because humans are selfish creatures who can't see their nose for their face," Seamus says.

"Why does this feel like home, when I've never been here?" I wonder aloud.

"Because this is where your bloodline comes from. You should all feel at home here," Antoine says.

"I don't," Elias mutters.

"Why not?" I ask him.

"I miss Liam and Felix. It's not home without them," he states matter of factly.

"I'm sorry. I hadn't thought of what it must be like not having them with you," I tell him, feeling badly it hadn't occurred to me.

"It's fine Jade, we'll be back to them as soon as we save your dad," he comforts me.

"It should be me comforting you, not the other way around silly," I say with a smile.

He just laughs at me and catches up to Antoine. Seamus falls in step beside me.

"Lass, what would you say, if you had the chance to live here forever?" he asks me.

"I would say no. It's not fair to Ruby, and two of her men aren't here," I reply.

"Let's speak like you didn't share a body with her, would you want to live here then?" he asks again.
