The sasquatch deflated, his eyes brimming with tears. "You speak for the forest," he muttered beneath his breath. "You're just full of surprises." He wandered off with Leeds, his shoulders drooping. It was clear that the sasquatch had mixed feelings, but even clearer to Mike that this was the correct choice. Allowing Leeds to wander off again would just create a problem in the future that he might not have a solution for.Even worse, someone else could die because of it. He winced, feeling the pain of Velvet's death anew. Though his anger was gone, his sorrow had been planted deep."Abella." He walked over to the gargoyle and put his hands on her shoulders. "Are you okay?"She looked at him for several moments, then shrugged. "I've had better days," she told him.With a sigh, he touched the dog tags around her neck. The soft jingle reminded him of Velvet, her head tilted to one side with a smile on her face."Here." Abella started to lift the tags off her neck, but he stopped her."Ho

"I don't understand," she said as he pulled several out and handed them over to her. "What are we doing?""We need this," he informed her. "You need to have silver for powerful earth magic. It's why my kind love it so much, it's a powerful catalyst. Same applies to dragons, especially of the earth variety. With enough of it, I can help you fix your wing.""You really think so?" She looked at the coins in her hand, afraid to let herself hope."I know so," he stated matter-of-factly. "My leg got broken off once by a hunter who shot me. I used a silver dollar from the late eighteen hundreds, and...oh no!"Emery's wings flapped frantically as he dug deeper into his stash. The little imp was making choking sounds as he tossed coins onto the ground. Abella picked one up and saw that the silver on it was tarnished badly. The profile on the coin was almost nonexistent, as if it had been rubbed away."What's wrong?" she asked, but he threw a few more coins out. These ones weren't just tarnishe

"Has Bigfoot checked in?" he asked."No." Abella replied. "But I can explain to him what is happening when he returns.""You aren't coming with us?"She shook her head sadly. "What Emery has promised me will take many days. I do not move quickly, and will not be able to fight for you. Not this time.""Besides that, we have a problem. Even with the barrier down, we've somehow managed to end up with no way to contact the others to have the rats chew us a portal." Dana pulled out her broken cellphone. "I could call Eulalie if we get our hands on a new phone, but that means heading into town. Then we'll have to find a phone place, and then hope she answers calls from unlisted numbers. Find somewhere good for the rats to chew a portal...shit, can they even do that if Reggie is trapped? Don't they need his permission?"Quetzalli sighed and sat down at the table. "If you are planning on running off again, then I will just slow you down as well. This body is far too jiggly to run for long, an

"You've got something, don't you?" Lily grinned and leaned forward. "Let's hear it.""Oh, it's a good one. Like everything else we do, it'll be dangerous, borderline stupid, and cause a lot of chaos.""I'm in." Lily put her hands together and leaned forward. "I'm not sure what I can do, but I'm itching for action.""Same." Kisa looked out the window. "Wouldn't mind a second crack at that bitch."Beth looked at Jenny and Reggie. The rat king gave her a thumbs up while sipping some more water. Jenny nodded, then tried to slap the mug out of Reggie's hand."Excellent!" Beth said, clapping her hands together. "First thing's first--it's time to teach the new girl how to walk."Eulalie threw a rock in the air and watched in delight as the enchanted mace zoomed through the sky to swat the stone into the forest behind the house. The rock ricocheted off a tree and vanished into the weeds, startling a pair of birds and a rabbit out into the open."Twenty points," she declared, then threw anothe

Both Sofia and Dana went into the house together, presumably to find Eulalie."I'm sorry, someone died?" Cyrus shifted back and forth on the fountain as if uncomfortable. "I would excuse myself, but...""One of our own crossed over." Suly put a hand on Mike's shoulder. "I'm not as sensitive as this lot, but I can feel yer grief. Ye have me condolences.""Thank you." Mike sighed again. "I wish I had time for condolences, but we simply don't."He spent several minutes explaining what had happened to the house, only to be interrupted by the surprise arrival of Asterion carrying Ratu. The naga greeted him with a kiss on the cheek and declared that she had sensed his arrival and wanted him to tell her everything. He helped her sit on the edge of the fountain as he started over from the beginning. He told them about the horsemen, the angel, and then Nesferisfet.When he finished, he looked over at Ratu. "So I need to know what we can do to find the house and take out this priestess and the
