Cerri shifted her position and gestured the trio closer. âSo, hereâs the recap, gentlemenâand lady. We know that Ted is the Guardian of the Universum, which is a powerful magical tool that can destroy the earth if it falls into the wrong hands. We know he finagled an assignment to this magical scrapyard so he could hide the Universum amongst the more ordinary, broken pieces of magical machinery here, hoping the general magical buzz of the scrapyard would disguise the Universumâs power.â
After a pause, Cerri glanced apologetically at Midnight before adding, âEither Ted wasnât careful with his words and actions, or, as we suspect, there is a traitor on the Witches Council, or both. We know the members of the Witch Council are the only ones, besides Ted and the Supernatural Council, who know the tool is hidden here.â
âSo ... youâre assuming the Supernatural Council canât be the source of the leak?â Larry asked his question in a neutral tone, not wanting to piss off the powerful witch at his side. But she worked for the Supernatural Bureau of Investigation, which reported directly to the Council.
âIâm sure the leak is not within the Supernatural Council, Familiar.â Cerriâs words were clipped, her tone final.
Oops, definitely pissed her off, Larry reflected with chagrin. He met Cerriâs gaze in mute apology.
Cerri chuckled and tugged gently on Larryâs velvety ear. âDonât apologize for asking a legitimate question, Larry. Iâve worked for the SBI for over a century. I know that the Supernatural Council is as susceptible to corruption as any powerful organization. However, in this case Iâve already investigated those on the Council with direct knowledge of this matterâand that number is small, as information this sensitive is compartmented. No, Iâm afraid the leak is closer to home. Ted, even if accidentally, or perhaps a corrupt member of the Witches Council.â
Into the silence following her words, Carb interjected. âOkay, so, what do we do now?â
âNow, demon, we find the Universum, figure out a way to spirit it away from here to a safe place, and then neutralize the bad guys. We must succeed soon, or .... well, if we donât, it wonât matter anymore. To anyone. In any realm.â Cerri rubbed her hands over her face with a sigh.
Larryâs ears perked, head swiveling to meet Cerriâs knowing gaze. âYou mean the damn thing will destroy all the realms, not just the earth?â
Cerriâs warning was stark. âBased on what we know, if the Universum is activated and used, the entire galaxy will be destroyed in an instant, including earth and all associated realms.â
Midnightâs chest rumbled with an angry growl.
Carbâs normally upright ears sleeked back against his head. âEven the other realms? The Underworld, Faery ... all gone?â The demonâs mouth curled in a snarl. âWhy would anyone create such a devastating magical tool? And how did they plan to survive its use?â
âWhy did Alcase create it?â Midnight asked rhetorically. âBecause he could.â Her lips curled, revealing razor sharp feline fangs. âMages do not differ from humans in that respect.
