When he guided her back down to the underground, she felt… hopeful. As if, for once, she wasn’t just the test subject, but also the researcher.

He moved back towards the bench. The night’s sky was light, the moon still casting a lot of light down too, so Isidora couldn’t locate as many stars as she would have liked. Yet her companion seemed satisfied, encouraged her to take notes of her observations, nodded a few times.

“It’s alright, I can stay and assist” was all Wolfgang said. They looked up together, a few minutes going by before more stars started to shine. When he waved at her to try the telescope, she hesitated. Looked back at him in question once before focusing on the lens.

She let her head fall into her palm. “Next to nothing I’m afraid…” There was something shameful about admitting lack of knowledge to this man. Her mother had always said 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. And today, she wasn’t one of those.

“And now that we have a few leads, we shouldn’t let ourselves be discouraged. I’m sure we can get a full picture of this, as you’re so willing to work with me.” She nodded, and he dropped a hand, the right one still on her arm, reassuring. “Now, what do you know about stars?”

He opened his mouth to answer but, afraid, Isidora backtracked quickly: “Never mind, forget I asked” Yet he didn’t let her step away as she intended to. He put two warm hands on her arms and said, in a quiet tone: “What I 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, is that neither of us will be satisfied if we don’t give it a try.”

Had it been anyone else, she would have laughed. But his tone was matter-of-fact and she didn’t dare challenge something that sounded more like knowledge than belief. Instead, she got up too and asked: “Do you think we’ll be able to figure this out?” The look he gave her was full of sympathy.

After a few minutes of silence, observing the sky, he smiled. “Soon we’ll be able to have a look.” “A look?” she repeated, curiosity taking a hold of her. “At the sky” he answered, turning to face her. “Sounds farfetched, but sometimes it helps.”

“To be fair, it’s not like I remind anyone of what a piece of shit my father is every day, you know? I tend to try not to think or talk about him at all really.” She said, trying to keep her tone light as she took her hand back. She watched him get up, casting a look at the landscape around them.

“I should have looked into that.” He admonished himself. “Of course your mer heritage would be more than just physical. I could have walked right by a book that mentioned this without even pausing.” Isi’s heart clutched at the harsh tone. She reached a hand out, patting his shoulder.

Dropping his head, Wolfgang stayed silent, expecting. So she pushed on, setting her feelings aside, as she’d been taught to. “I can try to find out. Idrina will have a bit more information already, so I can ask her. And if needed, I can go further than that.”

“You do?” She shuffled, uncomfortable already about the subject she was about to bring onto the table. Yet she wasn’t allowed to stand against science, against finding answers. Never had been. “I think my father made all sorts of pacts to get to where he is now.”

“It’d have to be someone very powerful, and I can’t think of a reason you’d be under their radar…” He sounded worried. Like he genuinely cared about finding the answer to his question. “I might have an idea” she let out, unsure why she felt she could open up to him.

Taking a slow breath in, then out, she asked Wolfgang: “So you think I might be under some sort of similar spell?” Gently, he wrapped his fingers around her left hand, his voice lowering as he answered: “I’m not entirely sure. I don’t see why 𝘺𝘰𝘶 would be and when it could have happened.”

Her stomach turned as she recognised the feeling Wolfgang described. Of being unable to have any control over your life. She’d learned to take the power back, when she'd been old enough. Trained herself to go against the rules set up for her. Her nails curled on her thighs at the memories.

“Only left one alive, to make sure the story would be told and no wolves would ever dare attack a djinni again. The survivor, though, wasn’t ever able to turn into a wolf again. They were cursed: frozen. Stuck in their human body, but also stuck in time. They were never able to die. To end it.”

“I’ve never heard of djinn working together.” Isidora noted, trying to remember what her mum had taught her. “They hadn’t either. And one djinni, they could have probably handled. But two?” He paused, sighing. “The wolves managed to disable one, but in its rage, the second one obliterated them.”

“It’s not a long story, unfortunately.” His palms faced up to the sky as he continued: “A pack of wolves in the north tried to attack a djinni that was causing trouble on their territory. However, they found out the hard way that it wasn’t just one djinni, but two.”

A bench, a telescope and an air vent. He sat and she followed suit, trying not to stare out in the direction she knew Rory’s house to be in. Instead, she asked a question she knew would keep her attention on the man next to her: “So, what of this djinni curse you were talking about earlier?”

She didn’t question it when he led her towards the library, even though she worried she might bump into Lou, or worse, Rory. But the librarian wasn’t intending on hanging out in the public rooms and instead took her all the way to a ladder, opening onto the roof of the building.

They went for a stroll after leaving the diner, Isi not keen on going back to the ‘Den’ just yet. Wolfgang had seemed reassured when she’d agreed to submit herself to whatever test was necessary and they’d mostly walked in silence, both contemplating what that meant.
