“You can’t think I had anything to do with that?”

“Not directly, no. I’m nowhere near an expert on time, yet I know any change can cause ripples. The syclarions were a long ripple but it’s hard to say how much damage they did in three years. Alric is a short ripple—his impact has been slight, but it is there.”

“Taryn is a massive ripple. And I agree with everyone—we need you back home now.” Nasif had come in almost as silently as Siabiane. He looked battered as well and I had a feeling either there had been more than one syclarion, or the Dark had started to show themselves.

I wanted to ask how I could be a bigger ripple than Alric, or as it sounded, the syclarions, when they had all been here longer than me. But I didn’t think either of them knew. Any more than I knew why my gut and head were screaming that I didn’t belong here.

“Which brings us back to how do we do that?” I asked.

The faeries had been quiet while Siabiane and Nasif spoke, but they riled back up in the gap of conversation.

“We take,” Garbage started.

“She magic,” Leaf added.

“Go, go, go!” Crusty sang.

Siabiane held up one hand and the girls shut up immediately. “It won’t be that easy, ladies. With Nasif’s guidance I might be able to send you all back, but I can’t be certain of making the exact time. If we are off by more than a few minutes, it could cause more problems than we already are seeing.”

“Is easy. I listen, I guide,” Garbage said.

Leaf pushed in next to Garbage. “I listen too.”

Crusty smiled and shrugged.

“Listen to what, sweeties?” This was too important for them to be doing their usual obtuse communications.

“I feel my friends.” Garbage pointed to Leaf and Crusty. “I feel rest of my friends too.”

“You can feel the other faeries from our time? The ones with the rest of our people?” I’d caught myself right before I said any names. Things were messed up enough, mentioning Lorcan and Padraig probably would cause something even worse to happen.

“Is yes.”

“That might work. What do you think?” Siabiane asked Nasif.

“Your power, my calculations, and their homing skills.” He shrugged. “It’s all we have, so yes, it might work.”

I watched the girls, but they were sincere; they could feel their long-ahead-of-us friends. “We need Alric back; he and Dueble are in our rooms.”

We all trooped into the second set of suites to find Dueble and Alric packing our things. Well, Dueble was packing and Alric was pacing. They were also engaged in some deep sounding debate.

“I’m telling you, your time might be missing out on something. The dwarven ale from the Youlk mountain range is the best around,” Dueble said as he placed my extra pair of boots in the small satchel he was filling.

Ale. The world was falling around us, we needed to leap forward a thousand years and make sure we hit the right one, and they were packing and discussing ales.
