"Yes, I took you to grass," Derik said flatly. "With my fruit magic." Despite his deadpan, he was rather concerned. Transports felt bad any time, and Kazimir was drugged on ...

"Ahhh fuck!" Derik hissed. He'd hoped for more time than this to recover. But, this was it. He racked his brain to think of a place he could take them. ...
