The bright beam from Lily toward the southwest over the sea definitely hadn’t gone by the time she recognized the cliffs and told Romeo to pull over twenty minutes later. She kept her sunglasses on, which wasn’t all that strange with the sun in the western sky glinting fiercely off the waves of the Mediterranean.

“You’re totally sure this is it?” He shoved the Winnie into park and turned the engine off. “These cliffs look exactly like all the others we’ve driven past all day.”

She smirked and stood, passed between the seats, and gestured for him to come with her. “I’m sure.” He followed her out of the vehicle now safely parked on the dirt beside the highway, and she led him toward the place where she’d left the beacon spell for herself.

He stood beside her and scanned the ground. “I don’t see it.”

“Hold your horses, huh?” She clapped and cast her illusion-revealing spell. The pink film of magic spread between her hands, and the blue handprint she’d left in the dirt immediately illuminated. For a minute, the colors all danced together—pink, blue, and yellow because the beam of light the width of her arm still stretched from her all the way across the sea before it vanished in the distance. She glanced at him to double-check. He definitely would’ve said something if he could see me giving off a magical tether to something all the way to…who knows where. She pointed toward her handprint at the edge of the cliff. “Normally, this would’ve been harder to find.” She indicated the protruding section of cliff down which they’d climbed earlier that morning. “But I recognized that part too.”

The werewolf followed her pointing finger and snorted. “Something’s up with my powers of observation today.”

“It’s been a weird day.” She rubbed his arm and shrugged. “Don’t worry about it.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about.” He looked like he was about to ask again if she was okay, but he clenched his jaw instead as if he remembered their deal, and peered over the edge of the cliff. “So how do we get the little green guy to come back?”

“He said he’d be here, right? Or he’d know when we arrived.”

“Watcher had better not have followed us again—”

Before he could finish the sentence, a wide, flat green head appeared through the surface of the waves dozens of feet below them, followed by a webbed hand that waved frantically. “Friends return! Excellent, yes? Excellent!”

Romeo shot Lily an exasperated glance, raised his hand, and waved in return. “We’re ready to see the Royal again.”

“Then come. Come. I will take you.”

“Do we have to…you know.” He made a circle with his hands as he shouted over the cliffside. “Go through the whole process all over again?”

Watcher tilted his head and offered them his wide, gummy, sharp-toothed grin. “There is no other way to do a thing that is the only way. Don’t take all the time.” The creature waved at them again and beckoned them into the water.
