Chapter Nineteen

As soon as she was released, Liv bolted to her feet, creating a fireball at once and readying to launch it at whoever had the bow and arrow.

She froze.

Standing on the other side of the pool, his black cloak billowing in the wind, was none other than Stefan Ludwig. His black hair was matted over his forehead, his chin tucked, and a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He lowered the bow and regarded Liv with a sideways grin before turning to address the crowd. “That’s all for now. Catch the full show later. Same spot, different actors. Until then, the rooftop is closed.”

The mortals who had backed off a safe distance to watch the fight erupted into applause as Liv retrieved Bellator from the bottom of the pool using a summoning spell.

Chatting excitedly, the mortals dispersed.

Liv caught Stefan’s eye as she strode back to the bar, stepping over the dead elf’s body. That was Stefan’s problem.

Sheathing Bellator first, Liv hopped over the bar, popping up just as Stefan arrived on the other side, a proud grin on his face.

“You’re welcome,” he sang, winking at her.

“You were the Warrior asking about Mirror Eyes, weren’t you?”

He slung his bow over his back and nodded. “Spincoster is the despicable elf’s name.” Stefan gestured casually over his shoulder at the dead body. “And yes, I was the one asking around about him, although I didn’t think he’d go after you or another Warrior. Good thing I was tracking him. So again, you’re welcome.” He bowed slightly.

“I totally had the situation handled,” Liv said, taking a sip of her whiskey, grateful that it hadn’t been tossed.

“He had his sword to your throat,” Stefan countered.

“I was about to talk my way back to a standing position,” Liv argued.

“Although I believe you, I’m not sure trying to fight Spincoster would have worked,” Stefan explained. “He’s deadly with a sword. I would have never gone up against him like that, which was why I picked up this bow and arrow.” He patted his quiver.

Liv regarded him over the glass in her hands. “I didn’t really have a choice about going up against his sword, and he was pretty impressive. I would have definitely gotten nicked if we’d kept fighting.”

“But I came to your rescue.” Stefan pressed his hand to his chest proudly.

“You’re looking for a thank you, aren’t you?” Liv asked.

“I’m just happy to finally return the favor after all the times you’ve saved me.”

“Should I remind you that I wouldn’t have been in danger from Spincoster if not for you and your nosing around?”

He shrugged, putting his elbows on the bar and leaning forward. “I don’t see any reason to bring that part up.”

Liv shook her head and finished her drink.

“So since you’re back there, you mind fixing me a drink?” Stefan asked.

Liv pulled out her codex, confirming that Papa Creola still hadn’t sent the location for Foggerbottom. “Sure, why not? But first, I need you to hold something.”

“Well, of course,” Stefan answered, extending his hands over the bar.
