The next morning, Wrath headed down to her father's study, while the others ate breakfast. Lofn would spend the morning teaching Dan and making him practice, while the others went out and took care of their own affairs. There were always things you couldn't get easily, if at all, on Earth that were much easier to find in one of the demon realms.

Stepping into his office after a quick knock on the door, she saw her father had a small bag out that he was putting several books in.

"Going somewhere?" she asked him with a scowl.

Nicitel looked up briefly at her, then went back to what he was doing.

"I need to consult with Brageur. I spent all night going through my library, but I wasn't able to find exactly what I needed. I think it's in one of the books in the college's library, but it'll take me far longer to find it than I suspect your Daniel has."

Wrath knitted her eyebrows in thought for a moment. "Brageur?"

Her father nodded as he tied the case closed.

"Didn't you, like, try to kill him twenty years ago?"

Nicitel snorted. "It's not the first time we've fought, and I doubt it'll be the last time."

"And you expect him to help you?"

Sighing, he looked up at her. "We keep score. I'm ahead. If he helps me, that'll make us dead even. So yes, I expect him to help me. Oh, I'll be taking Allie along, so don't make a mess, and take care of the shopping. There's money in the desk," he said, tapping on it.

"When will you be back?"

"Two, maybe three days. We won't get there until tomorrow. I left a couple of books on the kitchen table for him to study. Don't take him into town at all while I'm gone."

"Why not?" she asked, curious.

"Because if what you told me about him is true, he's going to be too weak magically to stand up to anybody, and that condition will only worsen until he's been healed. Now, I have to get going so I don't miss the airship."

Nodding, Wrath came over and gave her father a hug. "Thanks, Dad. I don't know why you're helping me, but I'm grateful you are, and I won't forget this, ever."

He snorted, but she noticed he was smiling. "I treated you the way I did because you needed to grow up strong, or one of my enemies would have taken advantage of you. I threw you out because if I hadn't, you would have grown up in my shadow and never amounted to anything. Yes, I am hard, and at times, I am mean. That's who I am.

"But you are my daughter, and as long as my children aren't complete fuckups or screw jobs, I will try to help when they need it. Besides, I like him. He's not at all afraid of me, and he even warned me off killing the wizard who cursed you because he's got dibs." Nicitel shook his head and grinned. "Besides,
