“Excuse me,” spoke the stern looking Ardon. “If I may ask a question.”

“Yes.”

“Do you truly believe these rebels will talk? Even once captured and their lives threatened?”

“Why do you ask?” Juliska replied.

“It’s just that, I have found that people tend to be loyal in these circumstances, and I have another idea. One that might get you everything you’re looking for, with a lot less effort on your part.”

Juliska cracked a slow smile. “I’m listening.”

“Colby, I’m tired, I need to sit for a few minutes,” said Meghan. He had spent hours showing her around the grounds of his home, sharing a few memories of the place, the last being when his father had found the Catawitch, Elisha, wandering around the gates and brought her to his son. This made her miss Nona and remember how lonely she felt without her by her side.

She had no idea how much time had gone by since he’d taken her. Hours? Days? Weeks? Time did not seem to work the same inside memories.

She had witnessed Colby in classes, which was boring. She had seen his grandmother, whose soul was stuck inside the stained glass, her life never moving forward.

“I’m sorry about your grandmother,” she told him as they took a seat on a moss-covered rock.

“Yes, one of those things done by those Svoda you hold in such high esteem,” he spouted. “They stole her soul and hid her body, thinking they could use this as leverage against my father. My grandmother wouldn’t allow it though. She refused to let him give in. One day, he will find her body and return her soul. We’ll have an actual living grandmother,” he added, sounding thrilled by the thought. “She’s tough though. Strict. I guess that’s where our father gets it from.”

Meghan refused to reply, partly due to being exhausted and partly due to feeling completely overwhelmed. Traveling through memories was much more tiring than one would think, never mind that realizing that the woman stuck in the stained glass was also her grandmother. She had gained a family she knew nothing about, and wanted to know nothing about. She would never truly be a member of this family. She didn’t see the point in learning about them.

“Let’s eat,” Colby suddenly suggested.

“There’s no food. Memories remember?”

“Lucky for you, I have endless magical powers and can call some food for us. What would you like?”

Without meaning to, her thoughts went instantly to pizza. Her ultimate comfort food. It had been years...

“I’ve never tried that,” he said, catching the thought.

“You’ve never had pizza. How is that possible?” she asked incredulously.

“My dad is against anything he hasn’t grown himself.”

“Grown, like veggies?”

“Just veggies,” Colby clarified.

“You mean your dad is a vegan?”

“Didn’t expect that, huh?”

“Not really, no.”

“He doesn’t believe in what he calls false foods. He wants to eat only what comes from the land, says it’s healthier. Keeps the mind sharper.”

“Have you ever eaten meat?” she asked him.

“Yup. But... he doesn’t know that,” he added in a tone that said let’s keep it that way!

“I won’t tell,” she replied in an annoyed tone.
