There is heaven right here on earth

With those beautiful queens,

Way down yonder in New Orleans.

They've got angels right here on earth

Wearing little blue jeans,

Way down yonder in New Orleans.

The first thing she had to do was find the place that Agrippina had directed her to: Lilith’s Pathway. She urgently needed to get some supplies. The ammo for the damned gun had crept to the back of her mind as she realized that the children of Lilith may be able to tell her more about the gun than she had learned from Agrippina. It was important to her to understand her weapons; their capabilities, their weaknesses.

In addition, Agrippina had been right in assuming that she didn’t know the importance of the reference to Lilith. There wasn’t much that she knew of the history of the beings of her nature. Mr. Tan had once suggested that she read a series of supposedly fictional novels called the Vampire Chronicles, written coincidentally by a native of New Orleans and mostly set there as well, but she had never done so, despite downloading them all to her Kindle device. All Veronica knew for certain so far was that New Orleans was illuminated with supernatural powers. Everywhere she turned, she identified another being walking among the humans as if there was no difference between the two. Perhaps here there were no such distinctions made. It could be that they knew how to integrate better than the preternatural beings of other cities. Savannah had been like that; the old city lent a kind of shade to protect the undead. New Orleans was turning out to be the same, only more so.

In fact, on the Rue St. Ann, Veronica had spotted a well-dressed vampire man having a discussion in a café with a dark-haired witch. She was dressed in summery gypsy-like clothing; a billowy, white eyelet-cotton blouse and a red scarf tied around the waist of her full cotton skirt. Her hair flowed long and free down her back, with only the forelocks held back from falling into her face by a leather barrette. She drank rum while he had nothing in front of him at the table. She spoke heatedly to him while he was the picture of calmness. Her gold hoop earring bounced about with every passionate swing of her head and graceful gesticulation of her hands. There certainly was nothing like this city in any part of the world she had been to.

It took a bit of asking and more than enough ingenuity on her part to figure out all the right answers and finally find what she was looking for, but she understood the directions eventually. When she arrived, she discovered that it was a local shop known as the Underground Railway, run by an African-American woman native to the city. Veronica sighed, feeling a little bit stupid at being baffled by the clues to a place that she could have looked for on her phone. She just hoped that she was actually at the right location.
