flowers with a kiss each morning. And every morning with the kiss, color is painted into the petals, dew is laid heavily on the blooms for their first drinks, and the sun nurtures them to open fully. When the flower dies, its roots continue to feed the soil, the blossoms and the petals fertilize the ground, and the color goes into the root systems for the trees to use in the fall. Understand?”
    “Okay, so you have perpetual motion in magic. I understand, but not what this has to do with Tess. You said she was coming back, back from where?”
    “Two weeks before Mel was hurt Tess came to me and told me that Sherman was going to
    harm Mel and their babe. Tess had details, information she said she got from his mind. As a Brianal Tess couldn’t read Sherman’s mind. But she had, she did. She also told me that he had plans to take over the realm and destroy the magic. None of us believed her. Well, that’s not really true; we chose not to believe her. Tess was denounced as a member of the Brianal Guard and her immortality was revoked and she was reduced to only a fae because her actions were seen as crimes against the queen,” Sara said.
    “So, she was right. Everything she told you came to head and it happened just like she said.
    But that’s not all, is it? Something else happened and now you are looking for her. What was it?
    Why are you so hot to speak to her?”
    “Her family was a part of my guard. Her great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, they were all there with me. They were killed too. Sherman called out their names one at a time and took their immortality as he held them down with his magic. When the bomb when off, and because they were unable to leave, they died.”
    Christ, Nathaniel thought, her entire family gone because no one would listen to her, believe in her. But that still did not explain why they wanted to talk to her, seemed to need to talk to her.
    Unless…
    “You don’t know if this Tess is the one you’re looking for, do you? That’s what the book is for, so you can see if the woman you’re chasing is the one you betrayed.”
    Nathaniel heard the hiss of anger from Aaron and he felt the anger surge through the room, but he was not here to make friends. He was here to try and understand the woman who went to the bank to borrow enough money to get transportation and ended up saving the bank untold amounts of money, both in money stolen and lawsuits, in the aftermath of all the probable deaths. “She knows you’re chasing her; she even said that she wants nothing to do with you. So, what is it you want with her?”
    “To ask her to forgive me, to forgive us. And to reinstate her to whatever level she wants.
    Give her whatever she wants,” Mel said to him. He could hear the sincerity in her voice.
    Nathaniel did not think Tess would want anything from these people, but he really did not know her that well. He did know that she was something of an enigma, not only to him, but to these people as well.
    He walked over, picked up the book, and sat down with it. The first few pages were
    drawings of detailed sigils that were marked as Brianal. Each drawing bore the name of the person who wore it and other names had been added in a different hand. Then there was the significance of the design. Each person brought to the next design their own bit of it. Sara bore the mark of a Brianal, but hers differed in that she also carried the mark of the Brianal Guard.
    He turned two more pages and saw a part of the mark Tess carried. The next page carried a bit more and the ninth page carried the last. He showed his findings to Phillip and knew that even they did not know what she carried, nor why.
    “This mark here, the Brianal Guard, it has a black mark through the middle of it. The last mark is not black, but in all sorts of colors. It has a gold band around it at the bottom; it seems to go completely around her bicep.”
    “This is the mark of the Brianal Guard; we knew she had this one. The
