Chapter Twenty-Three – Larisa

Larisa helped Gilliam in the kitchen. The fae insisted on preparing the coffee and food, but she did her best to find enough plates and cups for his visitors.

“Look in the dresser in the second room on the right,” Gilliam suggested when she could only find three plates. It seemed visitors were so rare that Gilliam didn’t keep more stuff in the large, but basic, kitchen.

“Okay.” She headed out of the kitchen and along a wide hallway. The palace was like a maze with various rooms leading from a labyrinth of hallways. Larisa longed to explore the building, but this was Gilliam’s home, and she had no right to snoop around without his permission.

Pushing open the second door on the right as instructed, she entered a sparsely furnished room, her eyes instantly drawn to a tapestry on the wall. She stepped back and stared at it. The tapestry depicted the prophecy Gilliam had told them about.

A massive dragon with red scales that shimmered in the sun stood on a raised platform looking down on a smaller dragon with blue scales. The larger dragon bore down on the smaller dragon breathing fire. But from the left side of the platform, someone threw a spear directly at the dragon’s heart.

“I forgot the plates are in the third room on the left.” Gilliam appeared in the doorway behind her. “Ah, I see you found the tapestry.” With his mouth downturned, he crossed the room to stand next to her staring at the images.

“Is this the prophecy?” She pointed at the intricate work.

He shook his head. “No, I made this in the months following Andor’s death. I call it Gilliam’s revenge.”

“Revenge for what?” she asked.

“The red dragon is responsible for the death of Ivan’s father.” He jabbed his finger at the tapestry. “This is me throwing a spear attempting to take revenge for Andor’s death.”

“So you know who is responsible for Andor’s death?” Larisa turned to Gilliam.

“Argothorn. He is responsible.”

“He murdered Ivan’s father?” This is the information they needed. Surely the pendant belonged to him, too.

“If Argothorn hadn’t banished Andor from the dragon isle, he would never have been murdered in the world beyond.” Gilliam choked on his words as his emotions threatened to take control of him.

“So he didn’t actually murder Andor?” Larisa felt deflated.

“Andor was murdered by a human from the world beyond.” Gilliam wiped his hand across his eyes.

“No. He wasn’t.” Larisa shook her head firmly. “It was a lie. We’re certain that he was murdered by a dragon shifter. We have the pendant that was used as payment for the information that led to Ivan’s father being murdered.”

“A pendant?” Gilliam asked. “Don’t people in the world beyond usually pay in cash?”

“They do,” Larisa confirmed. “But the person who killed Andor wasn’t from the world beyond.”

Gilliam frowned. “The person responsible for the murder, a man named Reginald, went to prison for other crimes, but the police were convinced he had something to do with the murder. He had an accomplice but the accomplice was also murdered.
