Chapter Thirteen

PESTALE’S DARK EYES narrowed as he watched his brother Graely enter the large chamber they had been using as their War Room.

Morrigu rushed to Graely’s side and petted his arm as she looked up at his handsome face and whispered, “He is angry with you Graely. I have been busy, but I know he is angry.”

Graely regarded her questioningly and patted her hand, “You have been busy?”

“Graely, I am in love. He is a very special human, and he loves me as well. I did not compel him. He is sleeping in my room just now.” She sighed. “I don’t feel as confused as I did when we were in the Dark Realm. Perhaps I am no longer insane?”

He smiled fondly at her, “That is good.”

“He is pretty though not as pretty as you and your brothers, but I do so like being with him. I think I’ll go now and be with him again. I miss him when we are apart.”

“Is he kind to you, Morrigu?” Graely asked.

“Yes, kind and gentle. I have given him one of my special potions to give him stamina, for he is only human. If I could find the elixir I would make him immortal.”

Graely was surprised. Morrigu did seem a great deal more normal than she had ever been. “I might be able to help you with that, sweet Morrigu.”

“Oh Graely, best of the Dark Ones, that is so kind. Will you come and meet him later?”

Graely smiled at her and touched her lovely cheek and took a strand of her long black hair and twirled it, “If it pleases you.”

She jumped and clapped like a child and Pestale watching this was pleased. He had always cared about Morrigu and was happy to see her quietly enjoying herself.

Pestale’s voice was sharp as he directed an irritated glance at Graely, “Where have you been?”

“Shifting about from city to city,” Graely shrugged, “Why?”

“Because your job is to assist us,” Pestale snapped.

“From what I saw it would not have helped and I wanted to do something else,” Graely said, unafraid of his brother’s wrath.

Pestale frowned, “Why were you going from city to city?”

Graely quietly replied, “I wanted to observe humans of all sorts.” “When we were here in the Human Realm last time, there was no opportunity. Our brother was killed because of Gaiscioch’s obsession to rule and your desire to do nothing but help him do so.” A glint of anger lit his face. “I believe that we should simply enjoy our lives here.”

Hordly frowned, “Idiot! How can we do that when all the Seelie want to send us back to the Dark Realm?”

“Perhaps they would not, if they knew we meant no harm,” Graely said hopefully.

Pestale scoffed. “Perhaps you are nothing but a dreamer. You have always been a dreamer. I suppose that is why our father preferred you over us.”

“I may be a dreamer, but our father always would have put you first had you not…” he stopped himself and shrugged. “No point opening old wounds.
