Chapter 60: Spies

"You don’t say," Morrineth gushed as she picked up the vial that held the siren’s tears. She shook the vial lightly and noticed the shimmery fumes that were trapped inside the vial in the shape of a smoky pearl. "Where did you get this from?"

"I asked Madam Palfrey. You know the seer?" said Nyx, while Fenric took the vial from her and studied it carefully. "I visited her the last time because I wanted her to peek into my future."

Fenric turned and looked at her before questioning, "Are you talking about the time when she said that she couldn’t see your future?"

Though seers could see the future, their visions were never accurate. They couldn’t see the vision of a particular person just because they were asked to. Their vision was always abrupt and random. Thus, it was almost impossible for them to see the future of a person just because they requested it.

When Nyx heard the comment of her brother, she pursed her lips. Her smile nearly fell off, but she held it back and replied, "That’s right. The very same seer." She then turned to look at her mother and tried to gain her attention once again. "Madam Palfrey was quite upset because she couldn’t help me. You know I am always helping her with her shop and everything else?"

"So, she asked me if there was something that I wanted. That’s when I recalled that you mentioned that you wanted the siren’s tears, Mom." Nyx lied as she tried to make her mother look at her with more affection and love. The truth was that she had to literally beg the seer to get her hands on these siren tears, all because she wanted her mother’s love.

Just one loving gaze would be enough.
