"Wait a moment. I thought Wild Edric took the babies," William began. "I know we haven't come to any conclusions yet, but I had just assumed he was behind the whole nasty affair."

Tamara nodded. "Yes, Will. I had come to the same conclusion. Though there were always flaws with that theory."

The sprite frowned and spat on the seat of the carriage. "Piff! Wild Edric not be taking those babies, ye daft witch! He rides the night. What would he do with human babies?" The sprite giggled, shaking her head, then straightened up and put on a helpful air. "We shall take ye to this tree, my lady witch, if ye wish us to."

Tamara nodded her thanks. "We would appreciate any help that you would offer us, Serena."
