Chapter Twenty-Two

It took the magical energy of three fae to cloak the Serena so that she disappeared. It was strange to float over the waves, seemingly suspended in thin air. Liv shook it off and focused on the compass in her hand. They’d lost sight of the fleet and the Zephyr. She thought about Shazia, knowing she had to concentrate for the compass to work properly.

The needle on the stone swiveled several times like it was strangely filled with indecision. Just when she was about to give up on the elven technology, it pointed to the north.

“We need to change course,” Liv told Rudolf, who was holding the leg of a table he’d deconstructed for a weapon.

“Which way?” he whispered as the crew glanced over their shoulders, looking for direction as they cut through the gray waters.

“North,” she replied in a hushed voice.

“I’ve decided we’re going north!” Rudolf yelled. “My instincts tell me that’s where we’ll find that scoundrel Turbulent Wind.”

“The cloak will break when we near the Zephyr,” Liv explained.

“Why?” Rudolf asked.

“Because if he does in fact have the hourglass, which he damn well better, it will naturally bring down any disguises.”

“Oh, well, that’s sucky,” Rudolf complained.

“Well, the Hourglass of All of Time does belong to Papa Creola, and he didn’t want anyone who was cloaking himself to get close enough to steal it.”

“I bet he feels like a moron right about now,” Rudolf said with a laugh.

Liv’s phone buzzed in her pocket. Sensing who it was from, she sighed loudly as she withdrew the device. The message, as she suspected, was from Papa Creola.

Tell Rudolf to take five steps forward.

Liv showed it to the fae. He frowned but shrugged and followed the instructions, counting as he took each step. When he was in place, he turned to Liv. “Okay, now what?”

Just wait, the next message from Papa Creola stated.

Liv didn’t have to wait long. The boom swung around, hitting Rudolf in the head and sending him to the deck.

“Rudolf!” Liv yelled, rushing to check that he was okay.

He rubbed his head, then got to his feet. “You’ll have to tell Pops that whatever he wanted me to see, I missed due to an accident.”

“I think the boom swinging around was…yep, I’ll tell him,” Liv said, deciding it was best to avoid the truth right then.

“We have a sighting of the Zephyr,” the lookout said, pointing ahead.

Liv sighed, thankful that the crew was finally doing their job. No, they didn’t have a huge fleet anymore, or a ton of magical creatures to help defend their mission. However, sometimes less was more, especially in battle, when details were of utmost importance.

She peered north, seeing Turbulent Winds’ ship sailing gracefully in the distance. It was moving fast. Pulling up her binoculars, Liv studied the deck of the ship. The pirates appeared to be celebrating, many of them drinking and dancing.

“This looks like the perfect time to storm the ship,” she said, handing the binoculars to Rudolf.

He took them and peered through the lenses.
