It made more sense than the bullshit they’d fed me

Still, I needed to talk to King

I had to ask the Seers to find hio directly to Circe

The cobalt blue ocean roared behindonto pristine white sand on a day that was too sunny to be true

So beautiful I stared up at the brightest blue sky I’d ever seen, wondering if this was really what Crete looked like thousands of years ago

“Jeni, you have returned” Circe, the old wo silver hair, walked up in a blue tunic

“I needed to see you”

“Ariadna will not be pleased”

And? “Why does she get a say?”

“You are asking if she is our leader?”

I nodded

“Ariadna holds the cards to our survival, so I suppose she is a leader of sorts”

Interesting “I knohat she said about not co back uninvited, but I need help, and there was nowhere else to go I have to talk to King, but I don’t knohere he is Can you help?”

“Did you not try to locate him yourself?” she asked

“I don’t kno” I felt a little stupid

“Jeni, there are certain things that ifts is not one of them Do not be afraid to use what you have”

“Here’s the thing; you all assume I even knohat Seers are So we see stuff Okay And some can time travel, read people’s minds, or track stuff down Got it But I don’t knoorks or where ifts come from”
