Riley's POV

It's been a week but still, nothing has changed. Nix looks like she's on another planet most of the time even though she doesn't seem to have any residual physical damage. The Nøkkenson boy is wearing a shield as a face and the pixie refuses to talk to anyone, including her own wife.

To make matters, Esa hasn't sent me a single shred of information since he set sail. I get he, and most of us, aren't the biggest fans of water but he needs to pull his tail out of his arse and keep me up to date.

With the abrupt cancellation of the "biggest wedding in a century", my mother has been short with me and my father. Poor tata. I know that he still thinks of Nix as his daughter and the fact that unknown forces keep managing to hurt her without repercussions is getting to him.
