Tiny astral sprites skittered past my legs, arms full of scrolls and books as they rushed to return them to their home or bring them to whomever requested them. Damien snickered, and I turned my gaze to him.
âWhatâs so funny?â
His eyes drifted over me, a crooked grin tugging at the corner of his lips. âYouâre just cute when youâre around books. You get this look in your eyes,â he said.
I cocked an eyebrow, now curious about what he meant. Did I have a funny look on my face? I suddenly became very concerned, my cheeks and ears growing warm.
âHave you heard anything about the arrangements for my parents?â I asked. It felt random, but Iâd been eager to know if heâd gotten any word. Monday would be the perfect time to try to... I inhaled deeply, dreading what I knew I needed to do.
He released an uneasy breath. âI have. I landed jobs for them. The company offers a few options for housing, so they wonât need to look. Everything is pretty much ready for you, but...â
His voice trailed off. I tilted my head to look at him as he came to a stop. âI just want you to be sure of this, mea luna.â
My gaze slipped from his, a weak smile tugging at my lips. âI donât really have an option. I need to know theyâll be safe from the darklings. I canât focus knowing theyâre in danger.â
âGood evening,â Salwa greeted from a nearby table. I hadnât even noticed her and James, too absorbed in our conversation to pay attention.
âHey Salwa,â I said with a warm smile, pushing back the dread, knowing that in just two daysâ time my parents wouldnât know I existed.
Jamesâ coppery brows rose, and he pulled his gaze from the book heâd been preoccupied with. âOh, hey, Cas. Didnae see ye come in.â
âHowâs it coming?â Damien asked as he stopped at the tableâs edge, eyes scanning the mess of books they were working through. There were countless stacks of tomes and scrolls, the papers worn and aged.
âNo luck on the creature you described,â Salwa answered. âWeâve been searching through any bestiary the sprites can find. I donât know how many we have, and I know we donât have information on every beast across the twelve kingdoms, so thereâs a chance it might not be here.â A couple of sprites approached, stretching onto their little hocks to place a few more books on the table. âIâve got every sprite searching for any text that might have any information. This is what theyâve found so far.â
Twelve kingdoms? I parted my lips to ask, but a tiny hand grasped my finger and tugged at my side. I dropped my gaze to the tiny astral sprite, trying to get my attention. Starlight danced across its black form, its glowing, white, orb-like eyes shining up at me. It was so small, barely reaching halfway up my thigh.
I turned, kneeling to its level. âCan I help you?â
It reached for the thick book tucked against its side, and my brows rose as it held it out to me.
