Initially when I found the address again, I was nothing but thrilled. But after getting such a negative reaction from all the boys, I was really starting to worry about going back to Elderan. The weight of the danger was starting to weigh on me.

But I was still determined to go.

Angelo and I waited until nightfall. We weren’t in the exact same time zone as the place we needed to be in Elderan, but it would still be dark there too. Which was what we wanted. The darker it was, the easier we’d be able to slink outside of this woman’s house without being noticed.

When it was time to go, I hugged Rhyion, gave Lio a kiss, and then took Angelo’s hand. I repeated the address in my mind, and within seconds, I had transported us there.

We landed in an area that was, surprisingly, not urban. We were out in the country.

Or, well, the country for Elderan. The country in Elderan wasn’t as natural as the islands we lived on were. You could still see distant factory farms, smog clouding the air, broken paved roads. But there were no stores or crammed apartment buildings.

The house looked like it may have been an old farm. Not one of the factory ones, of course, but a farm from older days, when farmers used to grow food on their own with only the help of their family… when their animals roamed free across the fields.

I had never known a farm like this. I’d only ever seen one in the pictures of history books. In school, they used to make these farms seem like a bad thing. They called them inefficient compared to the factory farms of today. But even back then, I thought they sounded nice, more ethical, healthier.

Of course, there was no farm here anymore. Just a dilapidated old house with chipped paint and wood rot.

I silently took Angelo’s hand as we walked up to the house and knocked on the door.

An old elven woman opened the door; her grey hair fell in messy waves behind her pointed ears.

“Yes?” she asked.

“Are you… Resa?” I asked, hoping I had pronounced the name correctly. I’d only seen it written down, Nessa never spoke it to me out loud.

“Yes. Who are you?” she asked.

“I’m Annabelle, and this is Angelo.” I motioned to him. “Can we come in? Nessa sent me.”

“Nessa…” She considered it for a moment. “Right, come in,” she said.

We hurried in, and she quickly closed the door behind us.

The home had no electricity and was extremely dark. She had a fire going in the fireplace and a lot of candles set about the house, but no actual lights.

“How do you know Nessa?” she asked right away, most certainly trying to vet me.

“We used to work together. I was a waitress with her.”

She nodded. “What exactly are you looking for?”

“Pebblerot,” I said. “I can drink it and temporarily have the power to see visions, correct? I can ask questions and get answers to anything I need to know?”

She quickly shook her head as she sat down on an old, brown couch.
