The air is cool, but not as frigid as I would expect for late January. My thick, wool sweater keeps me sufficiently warm for which I am grateful.

Ladros and I cross the back terrace, scanning for Cortney. It isn’t until I reach the edge and look down that I see her and four other figures in the courtyard below.

Cortney spots me immediately. She lifts a hand in the air, gesturing for me to join them. I take a deep breath and descend the stone steps. Ladros is one step behind me as I cross the well-manicured lawn, approaching the group.

Before I reach them, Lex steps towards me and wraps me in a quick hug. “Glad to see you out of your room. I was worried.” He releases me, and I see him shoot Ladros an irritated glance.

I do my best not to laugh. “I’m fine.”

He scans me from head to toe. Seeing no visible signs of distress, aside from perhaps the black circles under my eyes, his shoulders relax. “I’m happy to hear it.”

I jerk my head to the group behind him. They’re about ten feet away. “Any idea what this is about?” I recognize Andrew and Freddy and assume the older gentleman with them is their grandfather.

Lex levels me with an expectant look. “I’m pretty sure you know.”

I give the three men with Cortney another look. “Guardian stuff?” I guess.

“Possibly,” Lex replies. “But I think Mr. Legrand is more interested in speaking with you about your connection to Hermona.”

Ah.

That’s right. He’s a history buff.

If you would have tried to speak with me about my status as Hermona’s reincarnation just a few weeks ago, there is no way I would have gone along with it. But now… I don’t know… It’s no longer that strange to me.

After experiencing Hermona’s memories, I can no longer deny my link to the original Guardian. Acceptance of the truth was inevitable, and now that more and more people are privy to the information, it’s become easier to discuss.

Still awkward, but easier.

“Well, I guess I should go say hello.”

Lex gives me an encouraging smile then takes a step to the side. We approach the group together.

Mr. Legrand’s excited eyes lock onto mine almost immediately.

Before I can say a word, I’m bombarded by his enthusiastic greeting, “My, my. The one and only Aspen Van der Klay. I’ve heard so much about you from my grandsons, not to mention news of your recent activities has spread through Shadowguard society like wildfire. It is a pleasure to meet the girl behind all this excitement.”

Kevin Legrand is friendlier than I expected from the patriarch of a prominent Guardian family, and way more laissez-faire about the fact an original demon is currently working to destroy the world as we know it.

I remember Freddy telling me his father wanted nothing to do with him or Andrew when they started questioning Head Minister Hendrick’s actions. I guess their grandfather doesn’t share the same reservations.

“Uh,” I pause, looking to Lex for assistance. He simple dips his head.
