Chapter Twenty-Three

Tisiphone teleported me back to the junkyard ranch.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Agnus asked as I appeared beside him on my deflated air mattress.

“Sorry, buddy. I suspect you were looking forward to becoming the man of the house?”

Agnus nuzzled his chin against the top of my hand. “How’s the butthole doing?”

I snorted. “I didn’t get locked up with anyone else, so it’s doing just fine.”

“Good to hear,” Agnus said. “I was worried about that.”

I chuckled. “Well, I’ll probably be going back eventually. It’s a long story.”

“Caspar!” Layla exclaimed as she walked through the front door of the farmhouse and saw me. She ran to me and jumped into my waiting arms.

“Hey, babe!” I said before pecking a kiss on her lips.

“They let you out?” Layla asked.

I shook my head. “Not exactly.”

“Caspar, I thought you said you wouldn’t use your powers?”

“I didn’t,” I said. “Your father broke me out. Turns out he was just waiting for me to get locked up so he’d know where to find me. He used a fairy gate.”

“And he just let you go again?” Layla asked.

“Again… Not exactly… Where’s Aerin? I need to find her and Brag’mok. The situation has changed.”

“They’re both outside training,” Layla said. “You’d never believe how smooth these drow women are with a sword.”

“Not as good as you are with a bow, I’d wager,” I said, smiling.

“Of course not,” Layla chuckled. “But still, they’re pretty formidable.”

I nodded. “We’ll be needing them sooner than later, I suspect.”

“So, what exactly happened? Tell me everything.”

I detailed how her father confronted me and everything he’d said. I told her how Tisiphone broke me out of Brightborn’s mansion and what she revealed about the giants in New Albion.

“We need to tell Brag’mok,” Layla said. “He needs to hear that there might be survivors.”

I nodded. “That’s why I asked you where he was.”

I followed Layla out of the house and across the grass to where Brag’mok and the drow were training.

The second Aerin saw me, she came running. Brag’mok sauntered behind her. He wasn’t much of a runner. Not that he couldn’t move quickly when he had to, but when you’re that large around a crowd of others not half your size, I suppose you have to be more careful with your steps.

“Caspar?” Aerin asked.

“Going to need you to call the lawyer,” I said. “There have been a few complications.”

“What brings you back here so soon?” Brag’mok asked.

“Aerin,” I said. “Layla will update you on what’s going on. Brag’mok, let's go somewhere to talk.”

Brag’mok nodded, and he followed me back around to the back side of one of the many piles of junk that littered the property.

“I don’t know how to tell you this,” I said. “But I have good news.”

“Good news?” Brag’mok asked. “Something you had to tell me privately?”

“You might not be the last giant alive,” I said. “Brightborn tried to abduct me from jail. He succeeded, actually. While we were talking, he suggested that there might be some giants still alive. One of the Furies confirmed that it’s true.
