Is that so?
Yeah. It’s incredibly embarrassing and I’m so sorry I brought it up.
I chuckle lightly, possessing her mind enough that she can feel my amusement.I’m not sorry. Tell me how I look to you.
Oh, no. Nope. I could never.
Oh, but I insist, Lily.
Nope. No way.
It’s not nice to mention such things and not elaborate. I’ll have to go home and write in my diary about this.
Lily laughs out loud, startling both me and her workmate, who pops over the partition between them
“Having fun over there?” the young, brash woman asks.
“Sorry, podcast.” She points to the device in her ear.
Lily’s workmate eyes her but lowers behind the partitions without saying anything more.
If you won’t tell me what your imagined version of me is, how about one of my brothers?
Lily ponders this a moment before finally giving in.I saw Barbas’s horns once so I imagine him like the archetypal devil character with horns and hooves, but instead of a goat’s face, he has a man’s face.
I was less surprised at how close she was and more surprised that she didn’t seem bothered by it.
And what about our leader? How do you imagine him?
Rhygel is blue with black horns.
I make no comment about how accurate that assessment is either.
And Malphas?
I can’t get a good mental image of Mal. I’m not sure why.
Ah, now I understand. Lily isn’t simply guessing well. Somehow, she has a connection to us that far exceeds what we expected. What she writes off as imagination are, in fact, adequate descriptions of us. She can’t “see” Malphas because he’s the most talented with illusion magic and has likely never shown his true self.
And me, Lily? What do I look like?
She sighs, finally giving in to my request.You’re big, with a broad chest and flowing white hair.
Well, you’ll be pleased to know, you’re absolutely right. On all accounts.
I—what? How can that be?
I have no idea. But you’ve described all of us to perfection. You did forget one thing, though.
What’s that?
The wings. All of us have spectacular wings.

Wings huh?
