“I still don’t see why Enyo couldn’t stay to help,” Alyxa
muttered darkly as she leafed through a book of genealogical records.
“She had to go,” Morpheus told her, standing with his arms
crossed in front of another bookshelf – hovering several feet above the ground,
but standing nonetheless.
“I know, I know,” his Dreamer replied, and deepened her
voice to mimic Enyo’s, “’I have not seen Ares for many centuries.’”
Morpheus laughed softly.
“I could tell you stories, Dreamer,” he told her.
“Well, the only
story I’m currently interested in is one with a clue on where the hell Maye
disappeared to.”
-I may have found something.-
Dreamer and Deity turned to where Bast had been sitting
quietly, more on top than in front of a book.
“What’ve you got?” Alyxa asked.
-Maye’s family were spread across the world,- the
Cat-Goddess started.
“Yes, I read that part yesterday, Bast,” Morpheus remind
her.
-Patience, kitten. Do you have any idea how hard it is to
turn pages with these paws? Hmm?- Bast chided, -but to cut to the chase, Maye
has a grand-aunt who migrated to Australia at the end of World War 2.-
Alyxa rapidly leafed through the pages of the tome she had
been reading.
“Considered ‘one of the most powerful witches of her line’,”
she read aloud.
-Exactly.-
“Australia is practically the end of the world,” Alyxa
stated, “it’s where I’d have gone to hide, at least until I figured out my new
powers.”
