Bab 629: Heart of Stones

Nix sat peacefully in the shade of a large oak tree planted in the Heart of Stones. Sensing her gaze, he looked down at the redhead that had been sleeping with her head on his lap. "Good nap?"

Shae nodded and sat up slowly. "Already past mid-day? I slept longer than I planned."

Nix leaned closer and kissed the top of her head. "Naps can't be planned; they just happen."

The redhead considered his words before nodding in agreement. "Did I miss anything?"

Nix scratched his chin for a moment. "Let's see... Nicky sent Gil to the Nether before turning into a Phoenix and traveling to Eidengal. Our lovely daughter electrocuted her three dragonling brothers, and Deidra says Sigh is a bully."

Shae's lips curved in a smile. "Is that all?"

Nix nodded and used the oak tree to stand up. "Guess we should see if we can turn things around."
