I am a slacker. Three stories today.
The family gathered at the Hall for Winsol. Lucivar dragged the tree inside. He and Daemon used Craft to place it in the stand while Marian and Jaenelle showed Daemonar the pretty baubles they would hang from its branches.
Saetan looked on, his lips pressed tightly together to muffle his laughter. It was obvious none of them knew what was about to happen. As an outside observer, to him it was obvious.
The women looked away, and Daemonar snatched the tree-topper. Clutching the delicate glass unicorn horn in his pudgy hands, he quickly gained altitude, hovering close to the ceiling.
"Where did the tree topper go?" Jaenelle asked, bewildered, when she turned back to the pile of ornaments. The confusion melted away a moment later. Following Marian's gaze, Jaenelle lifted her eyes.
Both women sighed. "Lucivar," Marian said with a sweetness that would have stopped Saetan dead in his tracks and made dread creep down his spine. "Please fetch your son."
