3070 Business Trips (Part 2)

"Hey, Nyka. Any news about the Ears?" The Vampire lived in the Eclipsed Lands and knew everything about Lith and Solus, including his past life as Derek McCoy and hers as Elphyn Menadion.

Nyka was his bridge with the undead who followed Baba Yaga's teachings and his informant.

"Sorry, no." She replied. "Believe me, if someone here knew anything, I would too. You have no idea how many wackos try to get in touch with Mom every day. If not for Vladion and Dawn, we would have died a thousand times over."

Kalla the Wight, Nyka's creator and adoptive mother, possessed the Apprentice Eyes of Menadion. Due to her role in the destruction of the Golden Griffon, the information was public knowledge.

It was the reason Kalla had permanently moved to the Empire and under the protection of Vladion Dragonborn, the First Vampire. Without the oath that bound him to protect the Wight, she and her children would have been forced to hide for her whole life.

"I'm calling you because I need a ride to the Blood Desert and an introduction letter. If I go there by myself, they'll kill me on sight." Nyka sighed.

"What business do you have in the Desert? I need to know for the letter." He took out paper and ink, ready to write with water magic.

"I've heard that Aunt Scar lives there now. I miss her and I want to make sure she's okay."

"Scarlett the Sekhmet? The Guardian of Children? That Aunt Scar?" Lith's hand stopped in mid-air.

"In the fur." Nyka nodded. "I never got to tell her goodbye and she never contacted us after her ascension to Guardianhood. I've been worried sick for her all this time but until now, I had no way to contact her.

"I mean, Leegaain was incredibly supportive but he warned me that Aunt Scar was struggling with madness. I didn't visit her back then because I was afraid my presence might make matters worse.

"If Aunt Scar wounded me, or even attacked me, her sanity would have been further compromised. Then that cathead left without saying a word and I wouldn't get anywhere near a Guardian of Jiera.

"Now Auntie is back to Garlen, but I'm afraid that Salaark is holding her prisoner or something. The two of them never went along. Aunt Scar swore vengeance on Balkor and Salaark while Salaark warned Auntie never to put paw back in the Blood Desert."

"That sounds like something Grandma would say but I'm pretty sure she's not holding Scarlett prisoner. Grandma is more the type to either kick an unwanted guest out or kill them on the spot." Lith replied.

"You're not helping!" Nyka snarled. "You are just getting me more worried. Can I get the introduction letter now?"

"I'll do better. I'm coming with you." The recent world tribulation had left Lith with many unanswered questions.

'I doubt Grandma would answer them, but maybe Scarlett is still mortal enough to understand my point of view. Even if she has become a Guardian, she didn't have millennia to come up with cryptic advice like Baba Yaga and the others.'

"Really? That's awesome." Nyka's frown turned into a smile. "When are you guys coming to pick me up?"

Lith checked his pocket watch and the daily schedule before answering.

"After my training with Valtak but before dinner."

"Who's Valtak and what does that even mean?" Nyka asked in confusion.
