Chapter 19

They didn’t nap long, but waking with Heather in his embrace was a kind of bliss that Rez had never in his wildest dreams expected to enjoy. She was soft, limp with sleep, and her curly, short-cropped hair smelled like lavender.

It was all very hard to believe, he thought, stroking the side of her face. An entirely new world, full of weird and wonderful technology. A world that hadn’t been touched by darkness or dours...until he’d come. Rez frowned up at the globe on the ceiling that lit by electricity from a switch near the door.

Had the dours somehow come through with him? Were they attracted by Heather breaking his spell? He winced to think that he might inadvertently put her in danger, or repay her generosity by putting her at risk.

The object of his thoughts stirred and murmured, and Rez laid a kiss on her neck that made her smile and squirm.

“What time is it?” she asked, and she rolled to look at the box with glowing numbers by the bed. “I don’t usually nap, but wow, I needed that.”

“If you aren’t used to magic, it may be somewhat exhausting,” Rez cautioned.

“To say nothing of our other exertion,” Heather teased. They kissed, slow and full of promise, but Heather drew away with a sigh. “I want to do some Internet searches and check The Ornament Shoppe database, and if I wait too much longer, our New York dealer will be closed for the day and we’d have to wait for Monday. Let’s order take-out and we’ll start looking for your shieldmates.”

They dressed reluctantly, pausing more than once to kiss and nearly falling back into the bed together.

Only Rez’s desire to find his shieldmates kept him from dallying more.

Vesta had not taken her exclusion from the bedroom well; one of Rez’s new shoes had tiny fresh chew-marks in the leather. “Oh, Vesta,” Heather scolded.

Vesta did not look contrite, and she growled and stalked around with her tail down until she won treats and scratches from Rez, who could not resist her tiny wiles.

Heather opened a thin, metallic book that had only one ever-changing page, set it sideways, and began typing on the letters on one side. Rez watched, fascinated, as pictures and words scrolled past. He could read the words, but could make no sense of them, and she worked so swiftly and efficiently that Rez could only shake his head in wonder.

“Glass dragon in a ring. That’s getting me nowhere. The keyword ring is just giving me rings. Griffon glass ornament. Let’s try spelling it gryphon-with-a-y. What did you say the other one was?”

“A firebird,” Rez said, reaching out to touch the glowing screen.

“Let’s try phoenix. There can’t be that many phoenix Christmas ornaments.”

They cycled through many different keywords, some of them over and over, on pages that Heather selected, named eBay, and Craigslist, and Facebook.

“Wait, there!”

There was a photograph of a green glass dragon framed in a glass ring, just like Rez’s unicorn had been. The description
