A few minutes later, had anyone been hidden in the old, deliberately overgrown garden; they would have heard soft feminine laughter and seen Amarante race barefooted in through a rust-latched gate. Her silk nightgown held up above her knees to allow her to run easier, the faeling darted this way and that as she spun and danced, then carefully climbed up one of the ornamental, flowering tree's just to hide within it's scent-laden branches.
Carefully, she watched the gate while concentrating on slowing her breathing. And finally, one moment she was there, the next moment she had disappeared from sight. Just another branch, twisted over the first, with flowers blooming on it's slender branches; the flowers silver in the moon's bright light. And then she waited, and watched until the gate creaked open once more and a man's form filled the area between gateposts.
Find me, she had told the Grigori. Find me and be crowned the winner this night, and you may choose any reward you desire; any reward I will gladly offer and give until the sun rises once more. But if you cannot find me within an hour's time, I shall win and be crowned victor, and my wishes you will carry out for me until dawn's light forces us back to the world of the day.
