Leo drained his second martini and set the glass on the table, trying to think of where to start. Alma needed to understand that monster that had killed him and her mother had been around a long time. "In my first few lives in Rome, I noticed a pattern in one of the wealthier households. With each generation, the head of the household had an advisor that had appeared in the village as a penniless stranger. The advisor would stay on and help the next head of the household, and when he died about fifteen years later another young stranger would appear and become the new advisor. I began to think that this man was like me. Living from life to life, remembering the history of the family and keeping that wisdom alive.

"When during my third or maybe fourth life yet another penniless stranger came to town, I approached him and made friends. He said his name was Marcus, and I introduced myself. I hinted about what I was and what I expected he was, but he gave no indication that he knew what I was talking about. I proceeded to tell him a very memorable story about a young lady I'd known."

"That's how you approached me," Cassidy said. "I don't remember anyone named Marcus."

"This was before we met," Leo said, glaring at Cassidy. She took the hint and stopped talking. "But by this time I wasn't sticking around Rome as much. I'd lived there so long and wanted to see more of the world. But I got lucky, so to speak, and that particular advisor died shortly after arriving in our town.

"I found myself near the small town again in my next life and went back to see if the family had gained another advisor, and sure enough they had. He'd only just arrived. Many in the village assumed he was a distant relative that had been orphaned because he was accepted into the house, but not as a slave. But I suspected different. And I wasn't the only one interested in the young man.

"Another man whose name I was never able to find out was also following Marcus around town. I waited until my fellow spy wasn't around and approached Marcus at the bathhouse one day. When I called out to him, I could've sworn that I noticed the man start to turn to me and then stop himself. I rushed to catch up with him and introduced myself as Leo.

"We spoke, and I slipped the story about the woman into the conversation. Unlike before, he seemed not to believe me. He even claimed to have heard the story before. Now, I will admit, I had told the story to a number of people, but I was sure he remembered me telling it to him. And I told him so.

"He got a strange look on his face like I'd caught him, and I had. I reassured him that I wouldn't tell anyone about his secret, but he still wouldn't admit that he was one of us.
