AN ITEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED: Your item ‘Ring’ has been revealed as ‘Gold Promise Ring’ (Soulbound to Mileena Tobias) by Giles Latumapic.

Promised items cannot be bought, sold, or traded by anyone but the person they are soulbound to. The person to whom the item is promised may release it to the holder, if asked, by answering with a verbal yes, or no. If released, the item can be sold, or traded by its holder.

So much for that. We were so close. I swallow hard. It’s a promise ring, and I didn’t keep my promise concerning it. It is cool that the game incorporates real world stuff like that. And it sucks big time. “But she returned it to me,” I whine at Giles, hoping for a loop hole.

“Apparently, not in a way that would release the soulbind,” he says, handing it back to me. He’s disappointed. If the ring had been mine, he would have bought it. For a lot.

“Who is it promised to?” Bella asks.

I don’t want to get into that. “Doesn’t matter—” A vibration comes from my hip, and I stiffen. “Wait a sec.” I open my Grimmoire and see a new message.

PLACE THE RING ON THE RED DOT TO PORT MILEENA TOBIAS INTO DCQ.

ONCE THE CHARACTER IS IN THE GAME, SHE CAN BE ASKED TO OFFICIALLY RELEASE THE PROMISED ITEM, AT WHICH POINT IT CAN BE SOLD OR TRADED.

What the—? The last person I want to see is Mileena. She broke up with me because of the game I’ve been sucked into for real. She hates DCQ. And me. I can’t even imagine how much that hate would increase if I summoned her into it now. And what does porting her in really mean? Would it be some kind of hologram or virtual Mileena that I could ask to release the ring, and then she’d poof back to reality? No, it says, “Once the character is in the game.” That sounds much more permanent. I can’t do this. And yet, I have to. I can’t use the ring to get the boots until I break its connection to Mileena. And I need those boots to save myself, Bella, and Hans, not to mention the game. Mileena will be mad, but she’ll get over it. I won’t get over being dead-for-real-dead. But if I pull Mileena in and I fail, would she die too? And once she gives over the ring, IF she gives over the ring, what then? Would she be trapped in DCQ? Would she be bound to our quest, or be able to stay somewhere safe and out-of-the-way until we save the world? Or it ends. Mileena doesn’t have an avatar or a Grimoir, so how would she even function in the game?

This is the hardest choice I’ve ever had to make in DCQ. There are real things at stake here. Real people.

I glance at Bella. She’s looking at me, eyes full of hope and curiosity. I’m starting to care about her. A lot. Bringing
