My feet touched ground on the smooth stone of the tower's top floor. Waiting for me there were Aura, Luca, and Varda.
All three of them looked like they had something to say, but I raised my hand before any of them could speak up, and said, "Me first."
I went on to explain to them what had happened in Mudgard, how my friend Ty had been abducted by a person or group I suspected of being fairies, and how the McCord twins had arrived at the Elfwood Circle Stones and found evidence that Ty may have been taken to the Fayne.
"May have?" Aura asked, her arms crossing over her chest. "You believe this could be a ruse?"
I nodded. "I'm not sure… it could very well be an elaborate smoking gun to keep us off their trail…"
"But you'd like to make sure all the bases are covered?" Aura prompted.
I really loved how we were both so in sync during a crisis.
