@warlcksāāĀ Ā Ā saidĀ Ā :Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā you have our mommaās eyes, little brother.Ā Ā ā
ā Ā Ā thanks, Ā Ā man! Ā Ā ā Ā Ā the Ā Ā compliment Ā Ā was Ā Ā welcomed Ā Ā with Ā Ā a Ā Ā tight Ā Ā embrace Ā Ā and Ā Ā jonah Ā Ā was Ā Ā cheeky Ā Ā enough Ā Ā to Ā Ā mess Ā Ā up Ā Ā his Ā Ā older Ā Ā brotherās Ā Ā hair. Ā Ā heād Ā Ā looked Ā Ā up Ā Ā to Ā Ā felix Ā Ā his Ā Ā entire Ā Ā life Ā Ā and Ā Ā the Ā Ā fraternal Ā Ā love Ā Ā he Ā Ā felt Ā Ā for Ā Ā the Ā Ā other Ā Ā was Ā Ā stronger Ā Ā than Ā Ā anything. Ā Ā ā Ā Ā you Ā Ā do Ā Ā too, Ā Ā somehow. Ā Ā you Ā Ā have Ā Ā kind, Ā Ā warm Ā Ā eyes. Ā Ā just Ā Ā like Ā Ā hers. Ā Ā ā
@autumnsleavesāāĀ Ā Ā saidĀ Ā :Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā you have her eyes.Ā Ā ā
ā Ā Ā do Ā Ā i, Ā Ā really? Ā Ā ā Ā Ā it Ā Ā was Ā Ā quite Ā Ā impossible Ā Ā to Ā Ā conceal Ā Ā the Ā Ā excitement Ā Ā and Ā Ā pride Ā Ā he Ā Ā felt Ā Ā while Ā Ā those Ā Ā words Ā Ā sank Ā Ā in. Ā Ā a Ā Ā wide Ā Ā smile Ā Ā taking Ā Ā over Ā Ā handsome Ā Ā features Ā Ā as Ā Ā jonah Ā Ā first Ā Ā gazed Ā Ā into Ā Ā autumnās Ā Ā eyes, Ā Ā and Ā Ā then Ā Ā towards Ā Ā the Ā Ā floor. Ā Ā cheeks Ā Ā burning Ā Ā red Ā Ā and Ā Ā heartbeat Ā Ā racing Ā Ā with Ā Ā the Ā Ā skinny Ā Ā love Ā Ā he Ā Ā felt Ā Ā for Ā Ā the Ā Ā girl Ā Ā before Ā Ā him. Ā Ā could Ā Ā it Ā Ā be Ā Ā that Ā Ā she Ā Ā had Ā Ā observed Ā Ā him Ā Ā for Ā Ā too Ā Ā long Ā Ā to Ā Ā know Ā Ā he Ā Ā had Ā Ā his Ā Ā motherās Ā Ā eyes. Ā Ā ā Ā Ā whoah. Ā Ā thanks! Ā Ā i Ā Ā love Ā Ā mother Ā Ā very Ā Ā much Ā Ā and Ā Ā she Ā Ā has Ā Ā beautiful Ā Ā eyes. Ā Ā ā Ā Ā there Ā Ā was Ā Ā a Ā Ā light Ā Ā shrug, Ā Ā scarf Ā Ā tied Ā Ā a Ā Ā little Ā Ā tighter Ā Ā around Ā Ā his Ā Ā neck, Ā Ā gloved Ā Ā hands Ā Ā being Ā Ā rubbed Ā Ā together Ā Ā - Ā Ā he Ā Ā would Ā Ā never Ā Ā get Ā Ā used Ā Ā to Ā Ā that Ā Ā countryās Ā Ā cold Ā Ā weather. Ā Ā ā Ā Ā anyways   ⦠  too Ā Ā busy Ā Ā for Ā Ā some Ā Ā hot Ā Ā chocolate? Ā Ā i Ā Ā guess Ā Ā i Ā Ā finished Ā Ā writing Ā Ā the Ā Ā paper Ā Ā we Ā Ā need Ā Ā for Ā Ā english Ā Ā literature, Ā Ā i Ā Ā need Ā Ā you Ā Ā to Ā Ā tell Ā Ā me Ā Ā if Ā Ā itās Ā Ā good Ā Ā enough.

Ā Ā Ā JONAH Ā Ā HAD Ā Ā BEEN Ā Ā TOO Ā Ā EAGER Ā Ā to Ā Ā anticipate Ā Ā such Ā Ā disclosure Ā Ā for Ā Ā that Ā Ā plan Ā Ā of Ā Ā his.

THE Ā Ā PAINFUL Ā Ā SENSATION Ā Ā MATEO Ā Ā DESCRIBED Ā Ā WAS Ā Ā UNCOMFORTABLY Ā Ā FAMILIAR.

Ā Ā ā Ā Ā there Ā Ā was Ā Ā a Ā Ā shrug, Ā Ā a Ā Ā sip Ā Ā from Ā Ā the Ā Ā bottle Ā Ā of Ā Ā alcohol Ā Ā before Ā Ā cordially Ā Ā offering Ā Ā it Ā Ā to Ā Ā the Ā Ā other. Ā Ā ā Ā Ā what Ā Ā is Ā Ā the Ā Ā thing Ā Ā that Ā Ā you Ā Ā wish Ā Ā for Ā Ā the Ā Ā most, Ā Ā mateo? Ā Ā i Ā Ā thought Ā Ā you Ā Ā were Ā Ā happy Ā Ā here   ⦠  arenāt Ā Ā you? Ā Ā ā

HOW Ā Ā AMUSING. Ā Ā those Ā Ā words Ā Ā coming Ā Ā from Ā Ā the Ā Ā most Ā Ā prince-like Ā Ā creature Ā Ā jonah Ā Ā had Ā Ā ever Ā Ā come Ā Ā across. Ā Ā the Ā Ā nephilim Ā Ā had Ā Ā to Ā Ā smirk, Ā Ā brown Ā Ā curls Ā Ā bouncing Ā Ā as Ā Ā he Ā Ā shook Ā Ā his Ā Ā head Ā Ā - Ā Ā a Ā Ā shrug Ā Ā of Ā Ā broad Ā Ā shoulders.

āĀ somedayĀ youĀ willĀ becomeĀ aĀ pilgrim,Ā aĀ saint,Ā orĀ aĀ favoredĀ story,Ā whileĀ iĀ willĀ beĀ aĀ voiceĀ onĀ theĀ wind.Ā ā
ā Ā the Ā stories Ā say Ā brides Ā donāt Ā live Ā to Ā the Ā light Ā before Ā demons Ā devour Ā them. Ā why Ā should Ā i Ā become Ā one Ā ? Ā ā
āĀ thereĀ wasĀ anotherĀ girlĀ likeĀ youĀ once,Ā inĀ aĀ smallĀ townĀ likeĀ thisĀ one.Ā iĀ canātĀ rememberĀ ifĀ sheĀ becameĀ theĀ monsterĀ orĀ diedĀ tryingĀ toĀ escapeĀ it.Ā ā

āĀ donātĀ strayĀ tooĀ farĀ fromĀ theĀ pathĀ setĀ beforeĀ you,Ā orĀ somethingĀ interestingĀ mightĀ happen.Ā ā
āĀ iāveĀ passedĀ thatĀ yardĀ ofĀ cropsĀ aĀ millionĀ times,Ā butĀ theĀ crowĀ neverĀ movedĀ fromĀ itsĀ postĀ untilĀ thisĀ morning.Ā ā
āĀ Ā itĀ isĀ asĀ thoughĀ ancientĀ fearsĀ areĀ stillĀ inĀ usĀ likeĀ scarsĀ orĀ stitches.Ā ā
āĀ graveyardsĀ arenātĀ whereĀ youĀ findĀ ghosts.Ā lookĀ forĀ themĀ inĀ placesĀ thatĀ feelĀ likeĀ memoriesĀ youĀ shouldnātĀ have.Ā ā

ā Ā what Ā form Ā does Ā your Ā fear Ā take Ā ? Ā surely Ā not Ā that Ā of Ā a Ā bear Ā or Ā a Ā lion. Ā such Ā things Ā are Ā too Ā assuring. Ā ā
āĀ iĀ foundĀ myselfĀ whereĀ everythingĀ wasĀ tooĀ familiarĀ toĀ beĀ real.Ā ā

āĀ youĀ thinkĀ thatĀ believingĀ inĀ usĀ isĀ enoughĀ toĀ protectĀ youĀ ?Ā thatĀ itĀ willĀ killĀ usĀ ifĀ youĀ forget,Ā andĀ weĀ preyĀ uponĀ yourĀ unknowingĀ ?Ā ā
āĀ stepĀ aroundĀ theĀ ringĀ threeĀ times,Ā likeĀ aĀ backwardsĀ clock.Ā thatāsĀ howĀ youĀ getĀ toĀ fairyland.Ā āĀ Ā
āĀ iāveĀ neverĀ heardĀ suchĀ sweetĀ musicĀ before.Ā ā
āĀ whereĀ theĀ treesĀ beginĀ toĀ twistĀ andĀ groanĀ inĀ theirĀ roots,Ā rememberĀ youĀ mustĀ notĀ makeĀ aĀ rightĀ turn.Ā ā
āĀ iĀ didnātĀ feelĀ likeĀ iādĀ steppedĀ intoĀ anotherĀ world,Ā butĀ likeĀ itĀ steppedĀ intoĀ me.Ā iĀ knewĀ iĀ wasĀ thereĀ andĀ forgotĀ iādĀ leftĀ anythingĀ behind.Ā ā
āĀ howĀ amusing.Ā aĀ humanĀ !Ā ā
āĀ wouldĀ youĀ beĀ myĀ brideĀ ifĀ iĀ wereĀ toĀ takeĀ youĀ intoĀ theĀ groundĀ ?Ā ā
āĀ iĀ knowĀ ofĀ tunnelsĀ youĀ mightĀ take,Ā theĀ burrowsĀ ofĀ trollsĀ andĀ rabbits.Ā ā
āĀ donātĀ takeĀ anythingĀ fromĀ thisĀ realm,Ā noneĀ ofĀ itĀ isĀ worthĀ theĀ priceĀ ofĀ keeping.Ā ā
āĀ thereĀ areĀ courtsĀ byĀ manyĀ titlesĀ inĀ theĀ landsĀ beyondĀ theĀ veil,Ā allĀ ofĀ themĀ other.Ā ā
āĀ namesĀ areĀ notĀ likeĀ currencyĀ here;Ā theyĀ areĀ moreĀ preciousĀ thanĀ diamondsĀ andĀ legacies.Ā ā
āĀ didĀ youĀ thinkĀ allĀ ofĀ usĀ lookedĀ likeĀ goblinsĀ ?Ā ā
āĀ gettingĀ hereĀ isĀ easy,Ā butĀ gettingĀ homeĀ isĀ quiteĀ theĀ trick.Ā ā
āĀ iĀ shallĀ giveĀ youĀ aĀ riddle,Ā andĀ itĀ willĀ puzzleĀ youĀ untilĀ youĀ knowĀ theĀ answerĀ butĀ forgetĀ yourĀ ownĀ soul.Ā ā
āĀ aĀ bloodlineĀ isĀ nothingĀ whenĀ youāveĀ outlivedĀ civilizations.Ā ā
ā Ā refusing Ā my Ā hospitality Ā isĀ likeĀ human Ā sin,Ā andĀ it Ā will Ā bring Ā worse Ā upon Ā you. Ā ā
āĀ everythingĀ hereĀ isĀ andĀ isnāt,Ā andĀ thingsĀ areĀ andĀ arenāt.Ā ā
āĀ onĀ lonelyĀ nightsĀ iĀ stareĀ intoĀ theĀ trees,Ā andĀ aĀ strangeĀ faceĀ leersĀ back.Ā ā
āĀ theĀ thronesĀ hereĀ areĀ madeĀ ofĀ bonesĀ andĀ blood,Ā andĀ builtĀ uponĀ decay.Ā ā
āĀ aĀ thirdĀ timeĀ isĀ notĀ aĀ charm,Ā butĀ aĀ bargain.Ā itĀ saysĀ thatĀ youĀ wantĀ somethingĀ enoughĀ toĀ wagerĀ yourĀ sense.Ā ā
āĀ itĀ isĀ dangerousĀ toĀ thinkĀ thatĀ magicalĀ beingsĀ doĀ notĀ haveĀ humanĀ intensities.Ā ā
