CHAPTER 9

FORSYTH

For the next three weeks, I stay in Seattle with Elgar. Pip returns to school, the fits seeming to have subsided for now—I cannot help but worry over what the Viceroy is preparing during this period of seeming absence—and between Mei Fan, Martin, and wai po, Alis is well cared for, if not bounced around and missing her da. I have never been separated from my wife and daughter for so long. Three weeks without them, and I feel as if I have lost a limb.

But in that time, Elgar’s script becomes an actual film. It is a curious process, to see one’s memories transform into someone else’s art. Though we don’t go down to LA to watch the filming personally, it takes place over the second week following our return to Elgar’s home. I do not feel Readers’ eyes on me, or anything so concrete, but there is a sensation of being aware that all eyes are soon to be on my life. Or rather, my brother’s. The filming is done in an LA sound studio, on one of the sets constructed for another fantasy television series whose producer, luckily, is a friend of Gil’s. It is rushed, according to Andy, and he doesn’t have time to finesse it the way he would prefer, but we are on a deadline.

The week following that is dedicated to the post-production process, where effects and dramatic music are added. Luckily, both were already being prepared for the television series itself, so there is a library from which the artisans can draw. I didn’t realize how much thought and diligent work goes into writing, and filmmaking. I have much more respect for Bevel and what he’s created with his scrolls than ever before, especially since he has no software to help him rearrange and rewrite.

In between all of that, Elgar has many doctor’s appointments—physiotherapy, cognitive tests, removal of the stitches, massages to have his lashed neck coerced back into mobility. I sit in the waiting rooms, looking around, watching, waiting for traps that are never sprung, attacks that never come. All in all, it is both one of the most mentally taxing and tense periods of my life.

And in all that time, Finnar is silent. The Viceroy has effectively vanished. The Overrealm is quiet—for a given value of such. The announcement that Reed will be appearing as a last-minute, surprise addition to the guest lineup at ConClusion causes the predictable online outpouring of joy and jubilation from his fans, but nothing out of the ordinary. Even the loathsome troll from Detroit seems to be taking a break from their vitriol.

My influence as a hacker for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has pull, but not as much as my role as Shadow Hand used to. While I can place the Viceroy on a no-fly list based on his appearance, and try to limit his travel and access to weaponry, the truth is that, if the Viceroy wanted to buy a gun, or hitch
