Chapter Thirty-One

We couldn’t use any of the swords, at least not skillfully. The rings and amulets were all keepers, though. Most buffed major stats. Others had special properties.

“You can finally get rid of those robes,” Rita said, and tossed me one of the amulets. “Check this out.”

Item Name: Bird’s Eye Amulet

Major Perks: Flight (35), Eagle Eyes

Description:

Those who wear this magic necklace can see far away things as if they were up close. Oh yeah, and you can fly. Pretty fast, too. Because birds…

“Some of these descriptions,” I said. “It’s like they’re not even trying.”

“Look at this one.”

She chucked a green ring at me a little too fast, but I caught it anyway.

“Would you stop that?” I said.

Fresh from her swim and a little too happy, Rita just laughed.

Item Name: Band of Karma

Description:

Be glad, for ye are truly blessed! Wearers of this ring can expect help in small, yet significant, ways as they travel the world of Mythian.

WARNING: Gambling or playing games of chance while wearing this ring will backfire most spectacularly.

“You gonna wear it?” Rita said.

The ring on my left hand was gold, with useless stats. High in a tower in Heroes’ Landing, Melody wore a matching ring. I put the new ring on my right hand, which was still bare.

“Well?” she said.

“I don’t feel lucky.”

“Wanna bet?”

“No.”

“Why don’t you try on the amulet?” she said.

I put that on, too.

“Feels normal, but…” I peered intently at the distant ridge of the caldera and the view changed. “It’s like looking through binoculars.”

“Now try flying,” she said.

“Should I take off my robes? Wait, never mind…”

Rita giggled. “Don’t worry. It’ll probably take the faster value. Just fly.”

I got up and looked for a likely place a hundred feet out. Then I willed myself that way. Unlike with my robes, which would have taken me there at the pace of a light jog, I flew a little faster than the magic carpet’s thirty miles an hour. Still slower than Rita, but not by much.

When I got back she said, “Very nice. Too bad there weren’t better robes in there.”

“So what about the rest?” I said.

She held up rings and amulets one after the other, noting their various properties. In addition to stat bonuses, most granted bonuses to class abilities: sword skills, sneaking skills, spell bonuses for wizards … One amulet protected the wearer with a 10,000-point shield. Upon expiring, it would regenerate at 1000 points an hour.

“Wow,” I said. “You should wear that. Then we can both be more equally shielded next time we’re in trouble.”

“If you’re sure…”

“I already have an amulet. And I can only wear one, remember?”

Rita took the amulet with a certain amount of relief. When she put it on, the air around her briefly sparkled like a glittery rainbow, then faded.

Rita grinned. “Pretty.”

“If I had a nickel every time someone told me that.”

“Not you,” she said. “Funny you mention—I used to have some nickels. I had a coin collection when I was a little girl. Nothing fancy.”

“I had one too.”

“Really?”

I nodded. “It was very fancy.
