Chapter 16

While Trav cleaned up, he heard Rahim’s voice. When he got out of the bathroom and saw that Rahim was safe, he felt himself physically relax. The soldiers that had been with the boy—some of Bravoosa’s company—told Narnaste that the captain had ordered Rahim brought to Trav.

Then after making sure Rahim was safe and settled, Trav had left the room with two of his valkyries. Ysintrill and Rahim stayed back in their borrowed chambers.

Trav, Narnaste, and Yaakova were armed again, and three harpy guards followed them—one wore the colors of the Mist family, and two of them were from the royal tree. The guards hadn’t tried to interfere in any way, but they weren’t being very helpful, either. Trav had already asked where Tiffany was and none of them had answered.

“You’re sure that Tiffany is at this cottage, Narn?”

“I think so, Master. It’s where she was when we left.” Narnaste shrugged apologetically.

Yaakova said, “It is possible that they moved her.”

Narnaste nodded. “Yes, but I actually hope they did. The cottage was not exactly...good, and we owe Lady Tiffany a great debt.”

Trav absently nodded. During the entire time his group had traveled from Najila’s cabin to Bernacia, he’d heard stories of how Tiffany had been cool under pressure and had made decisions that might have saved the lives of Trav’s valkyries. They might not have liked the Restless woman before, but now they openly respected her.

His group moved down remarkably empty streets, and Trav wondered why until he looked up. In this part of town, almost all the buildings were connected by simple skyways, and a lot of harpies seemed to prefer them.

At first Trav had worried that his group might be stopped or slowed, especially with what had just happened in the guildhall. Thankfully, most of the harpies paid them no mind. There were other humans and various Kin walking around, so Trav wasn’t notable other than the fact that he was armed and armored. If any of the harpies passing by slowed to look at him too long, a growl from Yaakova sent them on her way.

Some of the harpies they passed took one look at Yaakova and immediately turned the other way.

“Just what the hell was your reputation like before you left?” muttered Trav.

“My life was complicated, New One.” Yaakova ran her claws through her hair. “You have still not seen the true range of the magic I’ve learned. When I was young and rebellious, I studied curses for years.”

After a sidelong look, Trav began, “So what—”

“Trav? Trav is that you? It is you! What a treat!”

“Uh oh, Master,” murmured Narnaste.

Trav didn’t even need to look to know who it was—he could recognize the voice. “Oh hell, this idiot? Why is he here? How? This guy is like a cockroach.” Trav sighed and turned. There was no point in delaying the inevitable.

Thomas, the third Restless who’d been at Faith with Trav and Tiffany, sauntered up with a wine bottle in both hands, and two young harpies on his arms.
