Chapter 7

Baba Yaga

She’d been right, of course. It had been a strange night. In fact, every night for the past two weeks had been strange, full of strain between them. Things were no longer quite as easy going as they’d been before.

Baba had battled twice more, once with the fairy queen and once with the centaur queen. Because of Freyr’s words, she’d decided to test his theories and let their males live. She’d almost paid dearly when it’d come to the centaur queen, receiving an arrow in her bum for her trouble.

She’d wanted to rip the smile off Freyr’s face when she’d hobbled back from the fight. He’d wisely chosen to say nothing about the butt shot after that.

Oh, Baba could have ended both their males easily. Well, maybe not so easily when it came to the fairy queen’s mate. Holy hell, she still had no idea what that thing—creature—was. She wasn’t afraid to admit he’d boggled her, and she planned to make a detailed examination of her books when she returned home to find out just what in Kingdom kind of monstrosity he’d been.

It rankled her not to know everything about everything. Also, she’d had to do something—let’s say a little on the eccentric side, and leave it at that—to get past the fairy queen. Even now, that thought made her cringe.

There’d been an unspoken agreement between her and Freyr after exiting the fairy queen’s trial. Never talk about it. Ever again.

On top of that, Calypso hadn’t made her move. Each day that went by with no retaliation only caused Baba’s anxieties about it all to ratchet up more, which was probably the whole point. No one could play mind games like the gods. That was for sure.

Tomorrow, she dueled with Fiera, Calypso’s sister. And deep in her gut, Baba suspected that would be when the goddess finally made her move.

“Silver for your thoughts,” Freyr said.

She glanced up, not realizing she’d been staring hypnotized into the dragon fire.

She shook the gloom loose like rolling marbles. “Just thinking about revenge.”

“Sounds dire.” He took a huge bite of apple.

When he’d said he liked apples, she hadn’t realized how much. The deer she and Freyr had managed to bag on their first night was the only meat they’d found.

Clearly, it’d been gifted to them by the goddesses to use as food and shelter because there was nothing more to be had. They’d walked the flatlands extensively for miles in every direction, and there wasn’t even a trace of scat on the ground.

Thankfully, she was a hoarder by nature and had saved two of the apple seeds from before. She’d planted them in the ground beside the waters and pushed a little earth magick into them. Overnight, they’d grown into towering trees ripe with new fruit.

“Yours or—” He tipped the hand holding the apple toward her.

She shook her head. “Calypso’s.”

“Ah, yes. Well, you know it’s coming. Just be on guard for it.”

Baba gave him a no-really look. “Knowing something’s coming but not knowing what can be as dangerous as not knowing at all.
