Chapter 18: Nate

Brendan leaned back in his chair. “You’re certain?”

“Yes, I am.” Fox sighed. “I was in the same position as you, Nate. Bea breaking my contract made all this possible. We all ended up where we needed to be. You’re always going to be more of a fighter than I could ever imagine being, so being the one to connect with the memories of the buildings makes sense.”

“Could they have been placed there for you to find them?”

“No, not in a way that seemed as natural as they were, because they were memories layered on memories.” As Fox tapped her fingers on the table, I l glanced at Brendan, who was gazing at her. That sparkle was still in his eyes. Hopefully, the two of them could build a future together when we’d dealt with Zero. “We’re all struggling at times to explain things, and how we know them.

“Knowing what I do doesn’t entirely make sense, yet there’s a part of me that thinks we’re all back to undo the damage that was done in the past, that we’d lived different lives before where we failed to do what needed to be done. Zero is a different matter entirely, and I still can’t trust him, but I know he didn’t place those memories where I could find them.

“He strengthened them. At some point, he learned about memory magic and maybe assumed the time would come when someone would go searching for them, or there’s a chance he even saw one of us there. I don’t know if it was me, or someone else entirely. What I am certain of was that there were memories deeply embedded into the bricks building the room, from a time before Zero was in there.”

“All of them Bet’s?”

“The majority. Later, there were more of Zero’s memories after he killed her, which I think was when she could no longer embed her memories into the bricks. It’s something I’m still working through to understand better, but it seems like the most logical explanation, because dying meant she wasn’t physical any longer. She wasn’t connected to the world in the same way.”

Closing my eyes, I went back to the moment I woke in my body. I didn’t remember anything about what happened while I was journeying to wherever it was souls went when the body died. Sometimes I thought I had dreams about it, only they faded quickly, like it wasn’t something I was supposed to remember.

Opening my eyes once more, I shook my head. “I think death is more complicated than we can fathom, and maybe it’s for the best.”

“You’re probably right.” Fox smiled. “I wish I had different news for you.”

“I hate to say it, Fox, but this was exactly what I was expecting.”

“Why?”

I frowned. “Zero always had a reason for what he was doing. We knew that from the beginning. As much as I wish it wasn’t the case, I believed him when he said he was doing what he had to in order to save magic.
