I SAT AT THE TABLE, watching the two gods converse. It was a first for me.

Fin was constantly glancing from them to me. “Did I miss something?” he whispered.

I shook my head. “No.”

“Why aren’t you”—he nodded toward Notus—“you know? Destruction, death.” The firebird twirled his hand in the air.

“You’re looking a little pale, Fin,” I announced. “I think you need to go to bed.”

He glared at me with a scowl. “I’m fine.”

“Fin,” said Zoran firmly. “To bed.”

I smirked. For how much the pair fought, Zoran’s overprotective nature sure did come in handy.

“I’m fine,” the firebird exclaimed. “Really, I am.”

“Now.”

Fin groaned. “I’ve slept all day.”

“Your core is still weak. To bed, now.”

He didn’t move and folded his arms. Vines shot up from the ground and wrapped around him. They lifted Fin into the air.

“Zoran!” He thrashed his legs.

“Do as you’re told the first time.” He turned to Notus. “Shifters. The source of all problems.”

Notus’s eyes landed on me. “Agreed.”

The firebird was dropped on the bed. The vines stripped off his clothes and tucked the covers around him. I smiled as I saw the smoke billowing up from the lump. I had to try not to laugh. Even Notus was watching with a look of curiosity. It must be rare for him to be around such a temperamental creature.

The fire started to grow higher from the bed until a fireball shot toward the god. Zoran went to shove Notus out of the way, but his hand went right through the wind god as did the fireball. Notus reformed and appeared unphased.

I laid my head on the table. I wanted to know how to do that. Having spent my whole life looking down on him, I now admired the man and was slightly jealous of him. All I wanted to do was learn how to do Notus’s tricks.

“I told you yesterday, no fire!” Zoran marched to the bed. “You’re unstable. You can’t afford to be blasting out fireballs.”

Fin wasn’t cooperating and when I saw ice shoot into Zoran’s face, I knew it was time to leave before the whole room went up in flames. I hurried outside, already feeling the heat on my back. Notus joined me and sat on the railing.

Resting my arms on it, I peered out over the garden. “When will the flowers be ready? I didn’t think it would take this long.”

“They haven’t been getting the heat they need, but they’re close.”

“Then, you’ll leave?”

Notus grew still and sat there with hooded eyes.

“I don’t think I can learn everything in a few days.”

“I’m needed elsewhere, Jerric. As much as the other wind gods mock my work, if I didn’t do it, the earth element would declare war on us.”

Nodding, I let out a sigh.

“Are you planning on fighting me once the flowers are pollinated?”

I shook my head. “I learned from Fin I’m not capable of killing someone. I felt guilty enough for putting out his core.” I glanced over my shoulder to see fire coating the curtains. “And that little mistake is still causing problems.
