“Are you sure you don’t want to put these in the Void?” Rival asks Farren, tapping his chest over the pocket where he put the stones, proving that he was listening earlier.
Farren shakes her head, “I know it doesn’t make sense, but I have lost things in the Void before, so I don’t want to risk it. Plus, we’re in the Void, or what I was calling the Void, so I’m not sure how it would work if I opened a pocket here. I’m not sure it’s a good idea to play around and see what I’m capable of here, when the balance is so precarious already.”
“I hadn’t thought about that,” Khaos replies thoughtfully.
“Technically speaking, and as wild as it is to me, your magic is obviously linked to the realm. I don’t know how it's possible, but there’s no denying it. Because of that, it would mean that you should be able to use it as you always have, with no issues. However, I do think that caution is a good idea,” Rast explains with a slight frown.
“Me too,” Hades agrees. “Magic is tricky as you all know, and now that you know where the magic is coming from, that could be enough to mess with it and make it cause problems, even though it’s never caused any issues before.”
“Well, that’s fantastic,” Farren says sarcastically. She looks at the ground. “It just vibrated, but I’m not sure whether it was agreeing or not.”
“Wait, the realm is still communicating with you?” Loki asks with shock.
Farren nods, “Yeah. It stopped when we were in Ignatius’ cabin, but it greeted me as soon as I stepped back outside.”
“It greeted you?” Rast asks incredulously.
Farren nods, “Yeah, I don’t really know how to explain it, but it was definitely a greeting. Like, hey, how’re you? That sort of thing.”
“Interesting,” Mayhem says.
As we all fall silent and continue walking, my mind moves back to thinking about Sage and her group.
I didn’t see them.
The vision showed me a lot, it showed me that we were going to run into a group that would help us, but it wasn’t them.
The group that we were supposed to run into was supposed to help us find the castle. Sage and the guys didn’t mention that at all.
So they aren’t the ones who my vision told me about.
Which doesn’t make sense.
As always, that seems to be the theme.
Wait a fucking second.
“Hang on, Sage,” I say out loud.
“What about her?” Reaper asks.
“Sage, as in the Center, the one from Blood Moon Academy. The kick arse one,” I explain in a rambling way that I’m not sure makes a lot of sense.
“No fucking way,” Farren replies, getting it quicker than anyone else. “That’s crazy. I thought their academy went back to the Demon Realm?”
“It did,” Rival says. “That was the gossip around the school, and I was curious, so I verified it. It shouldn’t have been in the Fae Realm in the first place.”
“Wow. I hope we get to see them again and talk to them properly at some point,” Farren says. “I like Sage. She seems like my kind of person.”
“Hopefully we will, I have some questions for her,” Rival mutters.
