We're going to get the artifact key and then free you guys, Seth said. We have Coulter's invisibility glove, so when we get big again, we can still be sneaky.

At least one of us can, Kendra said.

The key to the vault is large, like a staff, Grandpa said.

Like five feet? Seth said.

More like six, Grandpa said. Taller than I am.

Vanessa will keep it close. Be on guard; she is most dangerous.

Seth, have no illusions: whether or not she is inhabiting

Tanu, you stand no chance against her in a fair fight. You have seen the dungeon keys?

Yes, Kendra said.

We used to keep them on a peg by our bed, Grandpa said. She may be keeping those close as well. Depending on how everything plays out, it may be impossible for you to return to us with the dungeon keys. For all but the brownies, there is only one way out of here, so you could easily become trapped down here with us. If worse comes to worst, get the artifact key and flee the preserve. We can hope the

Sphinx will find you.

If all else fails, leave the artifact key and save yourselves,

Grandma said. She turned to Grandpa. We had better let them go.

By all means, Grandpa said. Should the potion wear off before you reach the kitchen, all will be lost.320 You'll find that the brownies have a staircase all theirown, Grandma said. Look for the hole at the base of the stairs.

Can you find your way in the dark? Grandpa asked.

Kendra can see in the dark, Seth said.

I think it's another fairykind thing, Kendra said.

You know the way, then? Grandma asked.

I think so, Kendra said. Out the door, turn right, then left, then right, then through the door and up the stairs.

Good girl, Grandpa said. Make haste.

Kendra and Seth scooted back through the slot in the door. Good luck! Grandma called. We're very proud.321Recovering the Key

Kendra held Seth's hand as they raced along the hall. At their current size, the corridor felt as wide as a ballroom.

Seth's speed began to flag as they reached the end of the hall where they needed to turn left. This glove gets heavier and heavier, Seth panted.

Let me take it for a while, Kendra offered. He handed it over with no protest. The glove was not terribly heavy, but it was hard to hold, like trying to carry a couple of unrolled sleeping bags. Burdened by the glove, she hurried as best she could.

I wish I had infrared vision like you, Seth said.

Infrared?

Or ultraviolet. Whatever. Is normal light too bright for you now?322 It's the same as ever. Can we talk later? I'm running outof wind.

They trotted along in silence. The hall seemed endless.

Kendra's heart was hammering, and sweat was drenching her silky clothes, making them feel slimy. The bulky glove flopped around as she ran.

I have to walk for a minute, Kendra gasped finally.

They slowed their jog to a walk.

I can take the glove back, Seth said. Kendra handed it over.

I still need to walk, just a little, Kendra said.
