“Oh, shit,” I whispered, and ran for the bedrooms.

Chapter 12

Cynthia is a construct made of celestial metal. And earlier this week, when I’d fought Sakave, I’d given a tiny bit of it to her, which she’d absorbed into her skin and used to repair injuries that she’d sustained. The Rosario, the broken weapon to which Herb Wallenby’s soul was tethered, was also made of celestial metal. I had a very nasty feeling I knew what had happened to the Rosario.

I got to the bedroom in time to see a silvery blur striking at Mrs. Rita. Mrs. Rita, who had taken shotgun blasts to the torso without flinching, now sported several deep cuts across her forearms and was swaying on her feet. I managed to get a portal in front of her and dropped her assailant on the other side of the room.

The silver blur was up and shooting toward Mrs. Rita again, and I portaled it a second time. Thinking about what Forculus had said about the house obeying me, I imagined a pair of strong manacles that would bind hostile presences. There was no Green Lantern-ish moment when the manacles formed; they simply sprang into being, attached to the arms and legs of Mrs. Rita’s attacker.

I found myself staring at an adult Cynthia, two or three inches taller than me, with long, flowing silver hair. Her body was lithe, like a gymnast’s. Blades nearly two feet long extended from her forearms, orange fluid dripping from their tips and splattering into tiny puddles on the floor.
