Twenty-Six

The next time the servant came, it was with a very different kind of tea. Khan smelled it and could detect poppy, blue lotus, and apricot. Everything else was a mystery, known only to the priestesses.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, auntie?" he asked, eyeing the steaming contents.

Shala sucked on her pipe and grinned. "Why? Are you scared, magi?"

"Cautious. Someone did try and poison me less than a week ago."

Shala blew out some smoke and shrugged. "Then you leave her to find her own way out of the labyrinth of her nightmares and risk losing her forever."

"I won't lose her." Khan lifted his cup, his brow furrowing. "I'm going to regret this, aren't I?"

Shala only smiled. "Probably, but the hangover will be a worthy price to pay if you can save her."

Khan drank the tea down in three mouthfuls. He took Fen's hand and lay down beside her.

"I'm coming, my seiðr," he whispered.

Shala's brown wrinkled face hovered above him. "I'll watch you and bring you back if you need it."

"Thank…" Khan's vision began to blur. Fen's bright golden hair was the last thing he saw before his world went dark.
