Chapter 6

They had taken a picnic to the top of Tor. This time there was a truce between Justice and Dylan’s dragon. He was flying about overhead, blending in like a chameleon. People pointing at the bird but not knowing he was in fact a dragon.

Since the day of the grove, Justice hadn’t felt any presence. That day had been a growing gloom, now nothing.

“So who is this Gwyn ap Nudd?”

Dylan looked up from the sandwiches she was getting out of the basket. “Someone who has long had a connection with my family. He is King of the Tylwyth Teg, or the fair folk. He and you would get along since you are both warriors. He has a brother, though, who is not so nice and not so willing to watch over the fairies. He is the one I am afraid who hungers for power. He was cast out many years ago. He thirsts for power and if he can’t have the throne of his brother’s then he want’s my family’s power. The only thing is, I don’t have the power the rest of the women do. But I refuse to go to the States. England is my home and I don’t see going to the States but for a short visit. He doesn’t seem to hold sway there like he does here.”

Justice picked up an apple and took a bite out of it. “But if you don’t have powers why would he want you?”

Dylan smiled. “I am a direct descendent to one of the most powerful witches ever. Despite the fact that I don’t have power, yet I promise to, or he thinks. I would be happy with no power. I am happy reading tea leaves, making potions, or tinctures. I do have some powers but not like I should.” She glanced over at her partner, saw him studying her. “For whatever reason they refuse to come. At first my mother and great Aunt Bess told me, practice, practice. I did. I finally gave up. Even Emma has more power than me. At times it’s frustrating but I’m getting used to it.”

Justice thought about it. “You know a lot of times with vampires they don’t get their power and need for blood until they come of age, then also they have cravings and desires.”

Dylan glanced at Justice through her lashes. She felt a blush growing on her cheeks. Of all times to blush.

“Cravings and desires, do you mean blood?”

Justice picked up a sandwich. “In part, but we vampires are sexual creatures. It’s hard to not be. Though I became celibate when my human wife died about five thousand years ago, I didn’t think there would be anyone who could replace her. It was the same plague that she died of that I lay dying of. I knew Cormac, we had after all fallen together, but I was left to be human and wasn’t cursed initially. My two brothers were changed at the same time. We were in Babylon at the time.
