She tried again, this time focusing on the objective. A burst of icy wind shot out of the sword. It created some icicles at the edge of the platform but nothing near what she needed. She practiced for a bit while Wilson tried to regain his strength. She was getting better and better at it until she finally created a thin layer of ice all the way to the beach. It only lasted a few seconds, but seeing this gave her a boost of confidence. She kept practicing, and it wasn’t long before she was able to create one thick enough for them to cross.She smiled and turned to Wilson.“You ready?”“As ready as I’m going to be, but I’ll need your help,” he said.She helped him to his feet. He was still so weak that she needed to support most of his weight. They began walking out onto the ice. It was much more difficult to keep from slipping with Wilson leaning on her. When they were about a third of the way across, they started to hear the cracking sound. They looked behind them to see the bridge b

“Sorry, sir, there is one more thing—Agent Hansen. He wasn’t with the others at the temple,” said Dutch.“Oh, I guess you were too busy to hear. The National Guard caught him and four other mercenaries just outside of Phoenix after the Thunderbird attack. They’re all in custody now.”“Good,” said Dutch. “Thank you, sir.”He turned and headed out the exit.Hunt walked back to observe the team dissecting Isaac . The body was still lying on the table, appearing mostly untouched with only a few minor incisions.“Why haven’t you begun yet?” asked Hunt.“We have, we’re just switching instruments,” said Dr. Bryant. “His skin is really thick, and getting the scalpels through it is proving to be quite difficult. Not to mention the micoaz atl in his blood is dissolving our metal instruments.”He pointed to what was left of a scalpel he had thrown in a glass container. The blood was still dissolving it.“We’re switching to laser instruments.”Once they made the switch, Dr. Bryant cut out a secti

After another hour, we walk into quite the scene. A man with a red hood attached to his leather chest armor has his arms folded, watching as the man I had spoken with earlier speak to another. The hooded man’s silver eyes are annoyed. I can just make out his charcoal colored hair. It’s familiar and always kept in his shaggy spiked way. The man from earlier has copper hair that is a bit unkempt. His grey eyes are penetrating as he glares at the other one. The other one has blonde wavy hair down to his chin. His golden eyes glitter against his tanned and muscled skin. He looks more amused than anything.“I figured I’d run into you at some point Leo,” I say as I come closer to the fully dust corpse.He nearly jumps as Wilson gives a growl, warning him to stay away. “What are you doing here?” Leo demands, nearly losing his hood as he whips his head towards me.“I’m not the one who’s encroaching on my turf,” I say as I bend down and examine the dust pile.“I wouldn’t,” The blonde man warns

I wave him off. “I’ll be fine. However, I’d keep an eye on your heir. If he went after Morgain, who we thought was the heir, he’ll go after Silas next.”Alier shakes his head. “For his safety, no one outside of his mothers, siblings, and I, knew he existed.”“I knew he existed.” I say. “Well, his name anyway.”“But not what he looked like.” Alier counters.“Please verify that no one knows him.” I say. “What do people know him as?”“A member of the royal guard.” Alier says. “He’s Leo’s subordinate, which is why he’s with Leo most of the time.”“Then I’ll keep that pretense.” I ignore the boys eyes as I turn fully to face Alier. “Since I’m unclear the direction these attacks will go now, I’ll need to resume my investigation again. It’s best I leave tonight to get a jump start on this.”Alier’s face goes straight to amused. “And miss the ball?”“A sacrifice I must make,” I say quickly, getting ready to take my leave.“Nope,” Alier says, taking my hand. “Ileen would be devastated if you l

“Isaac ,” She warns. “Humor me.” I groan while she adds on, “And don’t even think about going back into that water.” She quickly leaves the room after giving me a piercing stare. Silas is wearing a red robe, looking more uncomfortable than I am annoyed.He rubs the back of his head. “So…why isn’t Wilson going for my head this time?”“You were with Leo.” I explain, touching my slimy tail, watching it shrink. It takes longer than my arms, since my legs have grown and molded together. It’s a reaction that happens when I go into the water. Air destroys my webbing and scales, while water makes it expand.“What is it with you two?” He asks, coming to sit next to me.“Well, one, he slept with my sister while we were dating. And two, he told my parents that I was enrolling with the Guardian Committee full time.” I flip my wet hair, a little annoyed it’s only halfway dry. When you’re part fish, everything dries fast.“Why is being with the Guardian’s a bad thing?” Silas asks, looking intrigued

I tense, hoping I can finally get my answers on who he is; but force myself to appear relaxed. “Do you know what he looked like? Where he went?”She shakes her head, putting her hand on her forehead; hidden under a partial sun mask. “Oddly enough, I don’t know. I can only recall his name. It’s not common these days so it stuck in my mind.”More amnesia? “Are you sure? Do you know if he had a scar?”“Who dear?” She asks, her posture changing, appearing more as if she’s gossiping at a party instead of discussing her son’s potential murderer.“Mike ,” I say, shooting Alier a concerned look.She waves me off. “I’ve never heard that name before. Alier, where is Morgain? You promised you had news.” She pushes me out of the way, stepping closer to Alier. “Where is my son Morgain?”“Miyla, Morgain passed away.” Alier says, surprise evident in his voice.“What?” She yells, drawing attention as she starts hysterically sobbing.“Mi…” Ileen says, looking at me, unsure what to do.When more eyes a
