?I found some information you and Saila may want to know.? Godfry?s voice ringing in his ear was nothing more than an annoying wail to the man. He rolled his eyes but he knew he wouldn?t have called until it was something good. Grasping a pen he took some paper from his wallet, a faded receipt he shoved in there for some treat he got from the market. ?Lay it on me.? The accent was thick as ever but somehow the words got through clear as a bell.

?There is a connection to another laboratory. I?ll send you the details when you return from your trip.? Laboratory? That caused him to arch a brow in question to what had been there. Which laboratory could it have been if it was able to make those squirrels which weren?t squirrels at all? He needed to know but also knew Saila might want to come with him to check it out.

?Purple!? The voice echoed off the walls of that too quiet house. Standing from the couch he rolled on over off of it then started to walk around the house. She wasn?t there but it wasn?t that unusual but what was there was what stood out about the scene. A letter?

Coilin,

I will always love you, but I just can?t do this. I can?t. I wish you a long and happy life with a warm and loving wife who knows herself, more than a dozen babies and all the stupid sheep you could ever hope for. Please be happy. Please. I?m so sorry.

Goodbye,

Saila.

?No.? The words were the only thing the man could muster from his mouth. He tried to say something else and even call her name but nothing seemed to happen. Dropping the note to the ground he headed towards that balcony. Frame leaped from the front of it as he sniffed the air for any trace of the woman. With no scent, and before he hit the ground, the man shifted to a form of beast and man alike.

Keeping on the path he went deep into the woods. Anger being taken out on trees and the like that was there. The day blended into the night, and night into the next day but the man nor the beast were seen in the time between.

Time the thing that could cure most wounds. It was what helped last time and this time, would be no different. His eyes lingered to the items around him and the few boxes he had packed. The items that were hers were carefully folded and set into the boxes. One was full of shoes, the other her clothing, and the last the keepsakes she had obtained. When she first moved into that cabin in Ireland he had removed everything from it and brought it into his home. The same tenderness of her keepsakes was taken here as it was when they first came together.


With her boxes packed and those two cages for Lyric in ready he enlisted the help of Godfry to move the items. He knew exactly where he was going to put them since he had the month before worked out a plan in case of his death or their break up. The fairy cabin.

Deep inside of the woods just north of the Southern Glen was a small tiny house that was up for sale. Over the past month, he and a friend had taken the time to get everything prepared in the house. His daughter helped him choose the colors and the paint it, even putting some furniture she thought fit in the home. It was tiny, but had a bed, a heart, a kitchen, a bathroom, and could be called her own. He was determined to never let the woman be homeless again.

The boxes were stacked along the walls, even on the couch that was the only sign of what a ?living room? might be for her. Dollhouse like a cage made for outdoors was placed outside for Lyric along with the one inside and extra food for the creature. The only thing ?new? inside of the house she might not recognize was a few extra weapons (a bow and a quiver of arrows ? the ones they worked with before), a small short sword, and a bike.

The abnormal thing about this bike? A certain spell had been cast on it that he wasn?t even sure would work. Godfry had thought he reversed engineered the spell enough but they could be wrong. If it went right, and god knows if it would, she wouldn?t obtain information on it. The bike other than that wasn?t special at all. Black with purple glittery stripes down the center and a small basket in the front. That basket contained those scrubs she was wearing the day she appeared in Rhydin.

As for the next thing, he did after stacking those boxes? Well. He went to the bank. Over the past two months, the man had been deposited into a certain account. First it had been under the name ?Saila M'Govern? but given the last few weeks, he had changed it over to ?Saila DeFortes? by just adding her on the account to skip the added paperwork. In grand total, he had only deposited five thousand including the amount he placed into it today. Not enough for her to live on for the rest of her life but enough to scrape by for long enough she could figure out the rest of it herself.

The bank would also notify her of a safety deposit box in her name(s). The following items could be found inside of that box:


A letter inside of an envelope and sealed. By the dust on it the item had been there a little while. Apparently he had written it some time ago.

Purple,
Over the past month, I have worried about your safety financial and otherwise. That was part of the reason I encouraged you to go to school or get a job of some kind along with training you how to fight. I know that I can not always be there for you but I want you to know that I would love for the ability to. Since I am unable to I have set up a few things to help you.

Don?t be sad if I?m dead I?m with my family and if we?re over don?t be sad. I?ve always been a believer in the idea of everything happening for a reason.

I do love you,
Coilin

The second thing that was found was a black ring box. Opening it was a small post-it note that said ?no peaking not ready yet? in case she somehow ever found the box. Under the post-it was a wedding band set. Gold with a single simple diamond that laid inside flushed with the ring. Either side of the diamond had the phases of the moon the single gem used as the full moon. With it was an elegant golden ring that would serve as the actual wedding band had they gotten there.



Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whaterever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me
Help me
Oh I don't know
Yeah!
Purple haze was all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
Who knows?
Help me
Yeah
Come on now
Tell me
Tell me
