erzulie was counting in her mind, one two three four; the children who had left. the children she had lost. the faces that had aged in her mind. those that had not. she had seen scarab after losing him once to ankyra. she knew reyes lived and had given her grandchildren.

where was regin?
where was valravn?
where was mireille?
