My brother must have forgotten about his god status because he
wouldn’t let go of me, and I fought for breath as he hugged me,
shaking. To open my airway, I looked up at the giant redwoods and a few
orange butterflies, focusing on a cluster of small orange flowers.
“Xav—Xavier!”
He released me as he must have remembered his strength. “Liliana.”
Xavier let out a breath, and he was clearly agitated because the air around
him heated as he spoke, and his violet eyes flashed. “I didn’t want you
following me into the faerie world, and it’s dangerous and confusing. You
should have run home and got help or got that faerie guy to come after me
instead.”
“Um.” That was all I could manage as I stood there among the giant
redwoods. My brother was genuinely glad to see me but also mad, which
didn’t bode well for my plan to finalize my bond with Talien. But I couldn’t
help but feel defensive as I spoke because I was so used to always
explaining myself. “Xavier, it’s been days since you fell in here. Time flows
differently here, and I brought a lot of help. Trust me, I didn’t rush.
” I
motioned to where Talien and the others stood behind me, watching.
“Oh. I’m sorry.” Xavier’s mouth fell open as he seemed to spot my scout
group for the first time. He stepped back and stared at me, and his violet
eyes, which held an insane amount of War Magic—calmed. The air cooled,
and my back prickled as I listened to my group shifting with nerves. Some
were seeing my brother for the first time.
What was I supposed to tell them? This is Xavier, and he’s a literal god
because of something that happened two years ago. He can help us kill
Solara if he doesn’t get mad about Leon’s deal and go off on someone else
first.
My back prickled.
Aunt Primrose had always hated Xavier and stood fifty feet behind me,
too.
Confusion spread over my brother’s face as he spied her.
“How long have you been here?” I asked to stall the inevitable.
Xavier worked his jaw in that broody way he always did. “A couple of
hours, I think. Have days really gone by in the other world? They must have
if you managed that task.” He meant convincing Aunt Primrose to help.
I took a breath. Xavier would need to take all this news in small doses,
or he might accidentally burn down this majestic forest, getting us in even
more trouble with the Seelie Court. “A lot happened since you fell in here.
We have to catch you up.” Sweat broke out on my neck as a sunbeam
bathed it.
Xavier stared at me, nodding. “Clearly. Is that Richard Grimes over
there, too? And who’s that woman? That other guy?”
