Fiona watched the man — the elf, she reminded herself — return to consciousness, and wondered what she should do now. Could she still trust Cole? On the one hand, the things he'd told her about were too strange to believe, but on the other, she'd seen them for herself.

Her man could turn into a bear. Could find her when she needed rescuing. He carried iron handcuffs in case he needed to arrest an elf. At some point, not believing became the ridiculous choice.

"Release me," the elf said, voice angry and hard. "Or my lord will have your hide for a rug, bear."

Cole laughed, dropping him back onto the bed. "I'm an agent of Arcane Affairs, and you're attacking a human. Your lord is messing with the weather in a populated area, and doing it enough that the humans are getting interested. So no, I'm not just letting you go. Now tell me what's going on."

The elf stared at him, then glanced aside at Fiona. She saw his eyes, cloud-gray and angry, and flinched back from him. Turning back to Cole, the elf pulled himself up to his feet and smiled a nasty smile.

"I am Erion, Count of the Storm Winds, in service to the King of Storms. And that is all I have to say to you. Take these iron shackles off me at once."

"You're in no position to make demands, Erion," Cole said, shoving the man down into a corner of the room. "You're under arrest, and it won't go well for you if you don't cooperate."

He growled, towering over his prisoner, and the elf shrank away. He might be proud and dangerous, Fiona thought, but he wasn't stupid and right now only an idiot would provoke Cole.

"I've been ordered not to say," the elf said, quieter and more subdued.

"Oh for God's sake," Fiona said, stepping over to stand beside Cole to glower down at him. "Whoever told you that isn't here now, and we are. Just tell us why you and your friends keep attacking me."

"We're not attacking you, Princess!" The elf's protests sounded strangely sincere, and he looked up at her with a look it took her a moment to place. He hadn't shown any fear of Cole, but when he looked at her, his inhumanly beautiful face showed a hint of nerves.

Cole looked from the elf to her and back, confused. "What do you mean by that?"

The elf flushed and shook his head, but he answered. "It's not your business, Agent North, but I suppose it is hers."

He looked at her, almost as if for confirmation, and she nodded. "Our King is dead. All his power, all his strength, is fading from him and passing to his heir. So we have been sent to bring her back to the Court where she can rule from the Storm Throne in his place."

Fiona frowned, confused. "What does that have to do with me?"

"What does that—?" the elf laughed, shaking his head. "Princess, you are the daughter of King Keyne, master of the Storm Court and lord of the sky.
