CHAPTER THIRTEEN
THEY TRAVELED IN the shade of aspens for most of the day, skirting the base of forested hills. The flying orb was in the back of Bruneâs mind the whole time. Whenever he looked through the leafy branches at patches of blue sky, he half expected to see it.
When the late afternoon sun cast long shadows over the terrain, they came upon a meadow. A chilly breeze stirred the dry yellow grass and the hum of crickets filled the air. They made a campfire beside a large boulder.
Phia watched Brune tend to the fire while Lilly wandered around, picking a purple-flowered herb.
âI canât believe weâre going to see my uncle tomorrow,â Phia said.
âIf he really is your uncle,â Brune said.
âYou donât think he is?â
âI donât know⦠Iâm suspicious. I want to talk to him.â
Endellion sipped her tea and listened with a stony face. âIâve actually looked into it already.â
Brune looked at her blankly. âWhat?â
âYeah. Remember when I stopped at the messengersâ office in Farsh?â
âWhen you sent the note to your mother,â Phia said.
âYeah. I didnât send a note to my mother. I sent one to a detective friend.â
Brune looked at Endellion in disgust. âDo you always lie to your fellow party members?â
âIâm telling you now.â
âAnd?â
âAnd what?â
âWhat exactly did you tell this detective?â
âI just asked him to look into Rowkis Fragan. See what he could find. He has a lot of connections.â
Phia stared at the elf with her big doe eyes. âEndellion, you mean⦠you were thinking about rescuing me too?â
Endellion gave her a strange look and then stared at the fire.
Lilly skipped up and plunked down bunches of the purple flowers. âThere. Isobello Herb. Now we have plenty of ingredients, Phia. We can make some potions. Do you think we have time, Lord Brune?â
âAbsolutely. Go for it, Lilly.â
âThank you. Endellion, may I use your pot?â
âOf course.â
The fairy and the cat girl put a blanket down and laid out all the herbs and flowers theyâd collected. The work quickly put them into a chatty mood.
âMaybe you should send your mother a letter, anyway, Endellion,â Phia said. âShe probably misses you. Iâd like to send a letter to Sister Cassia, tell her about all my adventures.â
âMy mother doesnât miss me.â
âShe doesnât?â
âNo, sheâs dead. Butchered in front of me when I was a girl, along with my father.â
The dark elf stared at the crackling fire, her eyes wide and weary.
âOh, Endellion⦠Iâm so sorry.â
âDonât be,â Endellion said scornfully. âIt was a long time ago.â
Forgetting the potion-making, Phia absentmindedly pinched her fingers. âW-was it in the Orc Wars?â
âNo. That was before my time. It wasnât orcs or men. It was the Evolrik family. They hated the Grimholds because we always came out on topâin business, breeding, politics, warfare. By getting my parents out of the way, the Evolriks could be supreme.â
Brune grunted and shook his head. âYou dark elves are a vicious lot.â
âYou should talk,â Endellion said. âYouâre part dark elf yourself.â
Brune nodded. âThat I am.â
Phia and Lilly eyed Brune. He already regretted the turn the conversation was taking.
