"What's a tooth faerie?" Denal asked, brows drawn together, looking much like the boy who'd so often driven Ven to distraction with his endless questions.
Ven snorted, but before he could explain—okay, mock —Brennan finally spoke. "If the woman—"
"Erin," Ven cut in, unaccountably annoyed. "Her name is Erin Connors. Not 'the woman,'
not 'the witch,' but Erin. She's beautiful, and she's brave enough to volunteer to ally with us to go after Caligula, so she at least deserves the use of her name." He kicked at the floor with the toe of his boot. "Anyway, we don't know if she's a gem singer for sure.
Hells, it was probably her iPod I heard."
Brennan continued as if he'd never been interrupted. "If Erin Connors is truly a gem singer, and her song strikes harmony in Ven, perhaps I should be the one to ally with the Seattle magical contingent. I am somewhat of a student of the ancient myths and prophecies. They state that the resonance of a gemstone sounds in the emotion of the singer." He looked around the room and then zeroed his focus in on Ven. "And apparently in the one with the ability to soul-meld with the gem singer."
"No!" Ven pushed away from the wall. "No," he continued, forcing himself to calm.
"Conlan gave me this job, and I mean to see it through. Yeah, it's true that you have no surface emotions, Brennan. Ever since that damn curse, I mean. But remember that Quinn found something buried way deep down within you. If Erin really is a gem singer, and this resonance crap is even real, then it stands to reason that she'd crack right through that barrier of yours."
He turned to face Conlan and Alaric. "I'm doing it, Conlan. If anybody is forming any kind of alliance with Erin and her coven, it's damn well going to be me."

"It appears the King's Vengeance has made his decision," Conlan said, a trace of sarcasm underscoring the words. "In any event, I need Brennan to deal with a report of an emotional incubus who is murdering people in New York."
"More myths walking off pages," Alaric said.
"Possibly not even true," Conlan said. "But if it is, Brennan is in a unique position to battle such a creature."
"Fine, whatever. Can we get back to Erin and what in the hells a gem singer is? How do I deal with her?" Ven said, turning his back on Conlan and Alaric and staring down at his folded arms. Maybe Justice had a good idea with the pacing. He either had to burn off some stress or hit somebody. Not the greatest time for his sparring partner Bastien to be shacked up with a werepanther.
Alaric nodded. "A gem singer is one whose soul resonates with the spirit of the stones of the earth. Some records indicate it was primarily a talent of the elvenfolk among the Fae."
"Great. Now Erin isrelated to the Tooth Fairy," Ven growled, looking up.
"Let us discuss Caligula," Alaric said. "Perhaps he seeks to consolidate Barrabas's power to himself. We knew political movement would be made in the vampire hierarchy, however loosely structured it may be."
"Is there even a hierarchy anymore"? Christophe replied. "Now that their goddess is gone, does that make them all turn renegade? We may not have done anybody any favors by killing her. Did she at least keep them in line?"
Alexios stepped forward, clenching and unclenching his hands. "Do not doubt that Conlan and Riley did the world a favor, as you put it, by killing that evil obscenity Atlantis Awakening – Warriors of Poseidon 02

Anubisa," he said, the strain to remain calm evident in his roughened voice. "At the very least, they did me a service that I can never repay."
Conlan stood and bowed to his warrior. "Alexios, if there were any debt, it was mine to you for putting your life in her hands in order to search for me. Never doubt that I remember this
