“THIS WAY, SYN,” Em said, as we walked down the hallway of
the old apartment building. The planks of the worn wooden floor
creaked under my boots and yellow lights flickered on the peeling
walls.
I scratched at the scarf covering my head and pulled my hood
back up. These disguises were getting irritating. Em never seemed
to complain, though. I always thought she secretly liked the
anonymity.
“Can this guy even afford us? This place is a dump.” I kicked at
a splinter poking out of the old wooden floor.
“Sabrina wrote that he seemed desperate. Something about
‘he’d probably offer his firstborn for our help.’” Em stopped suddenly
and grabbed my arm, pulling me to a door labeled 265.
She cocked her head at the paper in her hand. “She also wrote
that he was ‘very … soggy’? Whatever that means.”
“I’ll remind her we don’t speak hundred-year-old daeva.” I raised
my hand to knock on the door but paused before my knuckles made
contact. “Wait. Did you just say soggy?”
Em shrugged and stuffed the paper in her pocket. “I guess we’ll
find out what she means soon enough.”
“Well, this just got a lot more interesting.” I knocked on the door.
“It’s open!” a man yelled from inside. I raised my eyebrows at
Em, but she turned the knob and pushed the door open.
“What the hell?” she said, her eyes wide as they skimmed over
the apartment. Orange sunlight poured in from the windows on the
far wall, illuminating the first living room swamp I’d ever seen.
“I guess this is what Sabrina meant by soggy.” I stepped over a
puddle on the linoleum. Water covered every surface in the room,
and towels were draped over the furniture to keep it dry.
I paused in the middle of the room, taking it all in. The noise of
running water came from deeper in the apartment.
“Mr. Eckson?” I called. “It’s the Enchanter. You asked for my
help?”
“I can’t leave the shower!”
My boots squished on the wet carpet as I walked down the hall.
The door to the bathroom was wide open.
“If he’s naked, I’m done. You’re on your own,” Em warned from
behind me. I smirked at the wariness in her voice and assessed the
magical crisis before me.
A small dark cloud hovered above the shower, raining into the
tub. When I squinted, I could see blue mana churning in the mist.
“He’s not naked, but he is cursed.” I stepped into the bathroom.
“Well, I guess he could still be naked behind the curtain.”
“Very helpful, Enchanter.” Em timidly followed me inside. “Mr.
Eckson? How can we help?”
Mr. Eckson pulled the curtain open a sliver and poked his head
through the gap. A small part of the cloud broke off to follow his head
and rained on the tile.
