I admit it, I lied. I didn’t want Rabbi Levitt to know how injured I was from the fight. He would worry himself sick and never let me leave. I’d be a captive audience to his horrible jokes for weeks.

The wounds would heal. While healing others is a difficult task, it’s somewhat easier to heal yourself. Levitt’s magic soup set me well on my way. A couple of days of tending and I’d be a new man. No, the problem was elsewhere.

The Chaos Seed is a vast resource of power, but it isn’t infinite. I used a tremendous amount of Chaos energy fighting the Elemental, and I was spent. I felt the seed trembling in my chest. It’s the Chaos magic that keeps me alive. If I drain the well completely, I would crumble to dust and there’d be one less wizard in the world. As it was, I felt my muscles losing their strength and my bones growing brittle.

Desperate for rest, I trudged up the stairs to my bedchamber and rang the bell for Geebee. She instantly appeared, and I asked her for some tea. She flashed away and back within a few ticks of the clock.

I sipped the tea—she had added brandy, a welcome treat—and thought about the magnitude of what happened. Not just the Hebrew community, but the entire Seventh Ward and East River docks could have been burned to the ground or sucked through the Veil. What kind of madman would let a living fire loose in their own city? I had to find that Pooka, even more than the Vanderlay baby. I knew that I had seen him before, but in my exhausted and addled state, I couldn’t remember where. I finished my nightcap and dressed for bed, my mind filled with rabbits and fire. Within minutes, I was asleep.
