“In fire and gold

The fortune sold…”

Three times, memorized an hour before, we chanted.

The ruby stopped spinning and hung silently. Then, when the last word fell from our lips, both it and the frame dropped heavily to the rocks beneath the wood. The map of the cosmos disappeared, the tiny lights exploding all at once in million tiny puffs of smoke, and the light from the ground was immediately extinguished. Thick, white smoke billowed up from the pile.

Almara looked back and forth between us both.

"Is that it?" I asked stupidly. "Did it work?"

Jade's eyes held her father's, though whether he recognized her from centuries ago or just ten minutes ago, I couldn't tell.

"Take it, child," he said softly to her.

She stood up and bent over the wood, digging out the ruby from beneath the branches.

When she held up the red stone, the morning sun shined its light through each facet, sending a shower of tiny red pinpricks of light all over the beach. Almara sat back, a wide smile on his withered face.

Our ticket to the Fire Mountains was now in our hands. Though whether we would survive the journey, I didn’t yet know.
