Chapter Thirteen

Ryn stepped out of the Executor’s chamber to find Saphi waiting eagerly. She glanced at him in surprise. “Was he not in there?”

“No, he was. How long has it been since I went in?”

“You just went in! Like... but a moment ago!”

Ryn nodded ruefully. “Time is odd here.”

“So, was he in there?”

“He was.”

She stared wide-eyed. “What did he say?”

“So much, snow lily. I’ll need time to sort through all of it, and then... we’ll set aside some time, and I’ll tell all of you together. For now, we need to focus on helping Glory.”

Saphi straightened. “I’m ready.”

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. “Let’s head back together.”

Ryn closed his eyes and focused. Saphi vanished from his arms, and then he popped back into his sitting body. He opened his eyes to find Glory... or Jaelis... staring daggers at him from across the fire. She was back. She was awake. But she wasn’t moving.

Ryn rose and looked around at his auxiliaries. They all looked ready for anything, and Nephale had her glowing ether blade ready. Still, he knew now that no further violence would be necessary. He already had Jaelis exactly where he wanted her.

Ryn would tell his auxiliaries about his conversation with his future self later, after he’d decided what to tell them. For now, he had a devil to interrogate. His future self had guided him as far as he could. Everything from this moment would fall on him and his auxiliaries.

“Jaelis? Stand.”

Glory’s body stood.

“Tell me everything you know about the plague.”

Glory’s face glared as Jaelis moved her lips. “The third great plague consists of microscopic airborne particles that can survive outside a host for two weeks after being expelled, after which it can ride a hundred leagues on the wind. Upon ingestion, these particles attack the lymphatic system and induce swelling, discomfort, and hemorrhaging in all infected.”

Everyone save Glory winced. Even though Ryn only had a limited understanding of how plagues worked and how they attacked the body, this one sounded lethal. Jaelis continued.

“It can infect humans and animals with equal effectiveness and can spread through the air, through physical contact, or from bites from infected fleas, rats, and other common animals. The original plague was fatal in only fifty-two percent of those infected, but with the help of our talented plague mages, we have now increased the lethality rate to over ninety⁠—”

“Stop.” Ryn raised a hand and realized he should ask a more narrow question. “Where are the devil mages in our world storing this plague?”

“To my knowledge, the only samples House Adon provided of the third great plague are stored in sealed vials in the tower armory at Fort Prospect. It is located past the Kelarin mountains in the swampy marshland known commonly to your people as the Abyssal Waste.”

Ryn had heard of those mountains, since he had actually been discussing how the confederacy was formed with Auri. He had never heard of this particular fort. Still, there were so many forts dotting the realm this wasn’t surprising.
