“If my lady will follow me.” Hal bowed his head.

They arrived in the middle of a sprawling estate. Hecate could sense multiple beings spread over the island. Hal led her through a set of doors that opened to a grand foyer, beautiful enough to make a god jealous. The rich tapestries hung on the wall were probably worth a fortune in these modern times. Hecate had trouble keeping up most of the time, but she knew something ancient when she saw it. To the left of the foyer was a sitting room that Hal lead her to. He gestured for her to sit, but she was much too curious. Hecate wanted to see everything this man had in his home, as it was clearly his home.

“May I get you some refreshments?”

“Some wine would be nice.” She smiled at him. He was being so polite, and that in itself was a luxury she hadn’t experienced in a while. Living in the underworld—under Hades rule—generally meant polite behavior was out the window since you couldn’t afford to appear weak.

“I will return shortly. Please make yourself at home.”

Hecate delicately nodded at him as he departed. She began wandering around, looking at all the different items on his shelves: family photos, memorabilia, and books, so many books. Her dogs were getting agitated, pushing at her with their noses.

“I know, babies, but you didn’t trust each other when you first met, and now look at you. Best friends, just like I knew you would be.”

With their anxiety momentarily quelled, they curled up in the middle of the room.

“My lady, an 1801 Chateau de Dieu.” He held the bottle out for her inspection like a waiter in a fancy restaurant.

“You don’t need to open that for me. I know how rare those bottles are.”

“I’ve been waiting for a reason, and I think having a goddess in my home qualifies.” He grinned at her, and her heart fluttered.

The cork popped out of the squat wine bottle. He offered Hecate the first glass and poured himself a much smaller version. Hecate smelled her wine, and a slow smile spread across her face.

“Well this is a rare blend indeed. It’s not often the gods will share their private drink with people.”

“How true. This is made in a very small winery in the south of France that specializes in certain… additives I thought you might appreciate.”

“Thank you, son of the siren.” Hecate inclined her head.

“You can call me Hal if you want.”

“Hal it is then,” she said with a warm smile.

“When you’re ready, I would love to discuss what you meant at the crossroads, but please don’t feel rushed.” Hal sat on the love seat and motioned for Hecate to have a seat across from him.

“I’m not sure if the spell will be successful, but I am the goddess of magic, so one would hope so. The core of the spell is to render the torches inert to anyone except myself, thereby removing them from Circe’s power even if they are still in her possession.
