My pulse quickens, and I glance at Mayn. “Stay here.”
Brows pinched with worry, she nods, and I feel her gaze on me as I cross the street.
I stop in front of the woman, keeping a cautious distance between us. “I didn’t expect to see you again, Syl’vin.”
The last time I saw her, she’d tried to kill me before shedding the body of a dead woman and vanishing through a mirror from the jail cell where I had locked her up.
“This place seems to be a bevy of historical events.” She reaches up to adjust her hat, which hides the small points of her ears. “It felt prudent to stay close.”
I remember her saying she was some type of records keeper. “So, what made you decide to approach me? Aren’t you supposed to remain separate from the history you record?”
Her gaze meets mine. “I felt your blooming.”
I freeze. “You did?”
She dips her chin. “In your past lives, you remembered how to control your powers, but you do not have those memories now. It is my duty as the only fae here to teach you, lest you tear a hole in space and kill us all.”
I swallow hard at the implication. “That wouldn’t happen, would it?”
“Let us not find out.” She glances up at the sun. “Your shift ends in two hours. Meet me at your cabin. You have much to learn.”
Message delivered, she turns and strides away without waiting for my agreement.
But she knows I’ll show up. I have so many questions and, yes, much to learn.
