A Mist of Prophecies: Regrets
Owen Burnett sighed as he lowered himself into a chair in the parlor of his living quarters. The majordomo was faced with a singular problem he had limited experience with, free time. The Xanatos family had gone to Maine to visit Petros Xanatos. So no teaching Alexander as an excuse to let the Puck out to play and Owen's duties were finished for the day, provided no emergencies developed.
He could use this time to reminisce with Cassandra, but she was out with the rest of the Manhattan clan. The hawk-faced man let his stoic expression relax into a slight but unmistakable smile as he thought about his former pupil. He had worried about the halfling gargoyle living alone on her Mediterranean island. He had to pull her out of that isolation before.
Summary: A Gargoyles Fanfic. What compelled the trickster Puck to create the role of Owen Burnett? Second place winner in the 2001 Gathering's Writing Contest, Category: Pucking Around.
I had already brought up Bridget in A Mist of Prophecies: Shivers the Heart to Hear (BookWorm's Library | Ao3). The wraith took her form and completely unnerved Owen. But I left the why a mystery. I figured I would eventually go back to explain her connection. Why not now for the contest? But how to tie it into the current story line I have developed? Then I had the brainwave, that resulted in this story. I hope you enjoy it.
