Abby

They followed the Faye through an entryway, the stone floor cool compared to the warm vines still covering the walls inside. They took a short right and entered a room about the size of Alex’s whole first floor. How that tiny cabin on the outside turned into a mansion on the inside, Abby chose not to question. Lest she hurt her brain even more than she already had. There was a large dining table in the center of the room, six chairs around it. For someone who spent most of his time alone, why he needed a large formal dining table was a mystery.

Lord Elazar turned to a small table on one side of the room, “Would either of you like any refreshments?”

Wesley walked over the table, pulling one of the chairs away and made a gesture at Abby to take the seat. “That would be welcomed, Lord Elazar. Thank you.” He offered her a brief smile as she took the seat he offered, before his face became more serious as he took the seat beside her.

With Lord Elazar busy, Abby took the opportunity to look at the Faye more closely. Her original observation of his height wasn’t unwarranted, but what she didn’t see upon first glance was his grace. Anyone that tall should look uncomfortable with their stature, slumped at the shoulders to make them appear less of a threat. Lord Elazar owned his appearance. He was intimidating, that was for sure. But Abby guessed he hadn’t lived as long as he had by being a friendly kitten. Just as she was admiring his long moss green cloak and wondering if he had made it himself, he turned around and carried a small tray to the table. Three copper goblets filled with a clear liquid perched on top.

Abby took her offered goblet with a small smile, “Thank you.”

The Faye looked at her a moment before turning to Wesley, offering him a goblet, before taking a seat across from them. “Now, I hear you’re looking for information on the missing girl from down the mountain.”

Abby and Wesley exchanged a glance. When they looked back at Lord Elazar, the Faye raised a brow. “What? I do know what’s going on in the world, I’m not a recluse.” He nodded in Abby’s direction, “I knew this witchling wasn’t the only reason for your visit today.”

Leaning forward in her chair, Abby looked at the Faye with a different kind of interest, “Do you know anything about it?”

He gave a vague hand gesture, “Do you? It would appear to the untrained eye that a witch is to blame.”

This time it was Wesley who leaned forward, “But you don’t think it is.”

The Faye smiled thinly, apparently pleased that Wesley had said the right thing. “Do I think it is a child pretending to be a witch? Perhaps. But there are only a handful of truly dark witches in the world these days, and they know better than to go murdering mortals with Faye heritage.” He glanced at Abby, “They usually stick to the poor furry creatures who are easier to overpower.
