Chapter 24

Bryn ran after Sage, the woman taking off at a tear.

The moment Danu had told them about the demons they were up against, Sage was on the move. It was going to surely be an underdog story for the ages . . . if they lived.

If there was a way to have knowledge at their fingertips like their ancestors, Bryn would find a way to get that for Sage just to keep the hummingbird of a woman in one place for more than a minute.

“Sage, wait!” she yelled, following her through the alleyways of the buildings as her friend didn’t bother to slow down.

Making her way to the cottage, Sage disappeared inside but left the door open behind her for Bryn.

Footsteps thudded behind them, and Bryn knew they’d have company soon, she just hoped it was company that wouldn’t bring pitchforks and torches.

As Bryn broke through the doorway, Sage’s focus was already completely on the shelves of books in her home.

Turning back to the footsteps following them, Bryn stood guard and relief ran through her as Jace and Justin ran into the cottage. Kessler sauntered in at his own pace, tipping an imaginary hat to Bryn as he moved past her. Closing the door behind them, the room not large enough to hold three large men, she was barely able to maneuver her way through to Sage.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of skin contact, but she was relieved when no visions came. Her friends were not going to die anytime soon, and that was the only balm for her confused state of mind.

No shocks either, which she found curious but decided to focus on what was at hand.

“Here!” Sage put the book on the table. “The Fomorians, or Fomori. Celtic mythology. They were demons who rose from the sea to fight the Tuatha Dé Danann and lost. They were then forced back underground.”

“It doesn’t seem like we won at all,” Jace whispered as he looked around the room. “Obviously they came back with a vengeance.”

“They had the opportunity to since our ancestors destroyed the world for their descendants,” Kessler murmured from his place along the wall.

“The king is Fomori himself, which means we have to kill him to end it all . . .” Jace worked out, as if saying the words aloud would make more sense than they did in his head.

“Sure, that sounds easy.” Justin laughed, crossing his arms as he shook his head. “This is all a joke. We have an old lady running our minds in circles and trying to get us to commit regicide.”

Killing the king did sound like a terrible idea, and like her friends, Bryn was rethinking this whole thing now that they were no longer face-to-face with Danu.

What evidence did they actually have that Danu was who she said she was? There was nothing to prove who the bad guys were. They would hardly wear nametags proclaiming them the enemy.

Perhaps all the happenings that Bryn took as proof of Danu’s theory was just Bryn going deeper into madness.
