all, I am the son of Cove.”
“You have heard of the Sea Child?”
“I knew of the Sea Child before he was ever born. For it is written, there will be a child of the sea who will be born to Willow, the fish woman Goddess of the ocean. Gods may only marry other Gods. No human will ever be granted immortality. Until the day Willow bears a child , who will be called the Sea Child, it remains this way. Only the Sea Child can grant life eternal to a human after his sixth birthday. That human may remain human, not to be changed into an immortal body unless thou wishes, then thou may be granted the form of an elf or the likes of any immortal body that walks upon the earth.”
“You’ve read the book!” Staysia exclaimed.
“I have!” Tristen smiled.
“Nox discovered my father had a map. The map leads to the Sea Child. I don’t know how he got it or anything, or why he even had it. All I know is that Nox wants it , and he has instructed me to find it. He says if I do not, he will take my very life. He said that if I do, he himself will grant me eternal life.”
“Yeah, if you want to be an elf remaining under his authority all your life.” Tristen sighed. “What did you say to him?”
“I told him I would be no part of it, but I do not know what to do.”
“I do not know how to find the Sea Child myself, but my father does .” Tristen answered.
“He told me of the Sea Child. But no, he never said a word about the map.”
Tristen’s brows furrowed. He gently rubbed his chin with his finger. “I think we should speak to my father about this. He could help.”
“Really? Your father would help me ?”
“He certainly would!”
“It would throw us off track,” Staysia sighed.
“What is the rush, Staysia?”
“I-I must find the man who killed them! Don’t you understand? He could leave Gnome Hills. He could go somewhere that I cannot find him. Don’t you see?” She dropped the water sword back into the water, and began to walk back towards Jasper.
“Staysia!” Tristen came up to her and put his arm around her. “It will be okay, everything is going to work out, you will see. Let me take you to my father.”
Staysia stopped walking. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. Okay, I will see him first. Take me to him.”
“You will not regret this!” Tristen kissed her on her cheek.
“What is going on with you, Staysia? Do you feel this is a good time to be playing in the water?” Jasper asked her.
“We are off to see Cove, Jasper.” Staysia said.
“Cove? Why are we going to see Cove? All this man has done for us is thrown us off our course! What if Gabriel comes looking for us and cannot find us?”
“I will tell you later, Jasper.”
“Bah!” Jasper grumbled.
“My Father is not far from here,” Tristen said. “I think Staysia should speak to him face to face.”
“I don’t want to start a war between Nox and your father.” Staysia said.
“That won’t happen. My father would be angry if I did not bring you to him. We will be back on the road to Gnome Hills soon. Follow us, Jasper.”
“This is about the immortal who has been troubling Staysia?” Jasper asked.
“Yes,” Staysia answered.
“In that case, I will be right behind you!” said Jasper.
They made their way to Cove’s headquarters.
She’s a Witch!
The hut was dim; the only light being the fire and candles that the witch burned to set the scene for romance with Gabriel. She got up and elegantly strolled into the kitchen to pour wine for the two of them. When she returned, they toasted and looked into each other’s eyes. The witch’s only plans for Gabriel was to keep him for herself. She had always wanted a handsome man like Gabriel and she liked the thought of him being all her own.
