FAMILY
I looked up p from the book I was studying when I heard footsteps on the
stairs. Mom smiled over a tray with a teapot and a couple of cups. We’d been
back at Merry’s for nearly two weeks while I finished recovering physically.
I still tired easily, but Merry had made me a little concoction I could add to
my coffee or tea to give me some pep.
I had taken to spending the afternoons in the basement, trying to learn
everything I could. While the purges of blood witches in the past centuries
had pretty much decimated any books that would teach me how to use those
gifts, I wanted to at least get some basic magic under my belt. I hadn’t yet
graduated to the tomes I had taken from the Kourt, all of which went well
beyond my meager knowledge.
“I thought you two could use some afternoon sustenance,” Mom said as I
cleared a space at the table for the tray. She set it down revealing more than
tea, but a plate with sandwiches as well.
She poured the tea and handed a cup to Ciara who sat across from me cutting
up herbs she’d gotten from Merry’s gardens to brew something. She had
probably told me what, but I’d been more focused on the spells I was
learning for defense and combat. I’d bet things would have gone much better
for us if I’d known some of these, and since we didn’t know what was
coming next, it would be good to learn.
“Thanks.” She took half a sandwich and settled back on her stool. She’d
been quiet since we came back, but I’d learned that she had only discovered
her specific gift at fourteen and that it made her a pariah to her family.
“What book do you have your nose in today?” Mom asked before tipping it
aside so she could see. “Oh, yeah, that one is… very dry. There’s another one
that is probably better for you to start with. That one’s all theory, which is
nice if you’re an academic, but not so much for practical use. I’ll see if Merry
has a copy.”
I put the book down and rubbed my eyes in agreement with her assessment
of the book’s dry theoretical approach. I’d been reading it for hours and
couldn’t tell you much about it. “I heard from Cambious this morning,” I
offered as I took my cup of tea from her. “They found Reyansh’s clan, and
are staying a few days to help him settle in. Then he said he’d head back to
the gate.”
“It will do Reyansh good to be back with his people, even if he would have
rather stayed with you.” She took the only empty stool and poured her own
cup of tea. “And Merry thinks she may have found your aunt, Ciara. It looks
like you might be related to Thána, on her father’s side.”
