"Honey, what do you think?" I asked Connegar. He'd come to help relieve the tension in my neck after my Inner Circle meeting.

"Reah is a good choice," he murmured while touching my neck and shoulders with warm fingers. "Nedevik Weth would be the best of advisors, if she chose him. She and Torevik should make him Prime Minister."

"But what if Glinda changes her mind?"

"Your worries are valid, my love. You should ignore them for tonight, so these kinks in your muscles will dissipate."

"What if Jayd doesn't give us two eight-days? He's crazy enough to jump the gun," I complained.

"You can bend time just as easily as I can," he reminded me.

"Yeah."

"Send some of yours to New Fyris, and others to Harifa Edus. They can sound the alarm if needed," Connegar advised.

"I'll get Drake and Drew on that—New Fyris is used to them," I blew out a breath. "Winkler can choose some to go with him to warn the werewolves. We really, really don't need a war with crazy High Demons. What the hell do you think Li'Neruh Rath is waiting for? We need some sense restored to this mess, and Zaria will probably be the one to Change What Was."

"There are many possibilities. I would hesitate to speculate on any of them," Connegar replied. "Relax. Stop worrying for the moment, so I can make you feel better."

Opal, Kell, Klancy and I waded through a foot of water inside a musty, dank, former water main blasted into rock a century and a half earlier. I'd Pulled in high rubber boots for all of us, or this trek would be much worse than it was.

"We could branch a large room off from here," Kell suggested. "It could be elevated so water would be held back at the entrance."

"That's a solid maybe on this location, then," Opal agreed with him.

"I think this is our best bet, but I worry that this will only be a temporary deterrent," I said. "The timeline is still warping—I can feel it. Something can go horribly wrong, I think. I just can't put a finger on what that could be."

Opal shivered at my words. I wanted to shiver, too. Things were happening to make Kory and Lexsi bigger targets than they were already.

Morgett wanted them dead; he'd brought more Ra'Ak to Earth to make that happen.

Soon enough, Jayd and Garde could want them dead, too, as members of Reah's family.

For now, those two High Demons couldn't reach them, as they couldn't bend time. If Lexsi or Kory traveled back to their own time, things could become difficult very fast.

Somewhere in all this, treachery was budding.

Other than the original treachery performed by Acrimus and Liron, I hadn't discovered the source of this new deceit, yet; it was still forming. Meanwhile, the damage done by High Demons bent on destruction could be enormous.

Be right, Li'Neruh, I sighed mentally.

Call me Hank, he replied with a chuckle.

Morgett replaced six dead Ra'Ak with thirty more.
