That night, after putting Ella to bed, I sat at the window and gazed out at the dark blur of night. I couldn’t stop thinking about the relic test. I still wasn’t any closer to understanding my gift or what Álvar wanted with it, and apparently, neither was Moon John.

“I have theories,” he had said, when I begged him to tell me what it all meant. “A dozen theories, but no facts. I need to think on this more. But in the meantime, be cautious, Maggie. You’ve seen now how Castilla collects and hoards relics. Do not let him collect and hoard you.”

His words echoed in my mind as I stared blankly out the window. The prospect of having a gift with relics had been so exciting at first, but now it frightened me.

A knock came at the door, and Esperanza slipped in with a small package in her hands. She wouldn’t meet my gaze as she set it on my bed and curtsied. When she’d gone, I grabbed for it, frowning. The paper looked slightly mussed, as if the package had been opened and rewrapped. My eyes narrowed and shifted to the door where Esperanza had just left.

With a swipe, I ripped the fold of the package open and upended it. Two small vials, blue as cobalt, fell into my hand. I held one up to the light, gazing with amazement. White shimmers told me what I needed to know. These were relic elixirs. Siren relic, to be exact. Those two vials alone were worth more money than the average man made in a year.

My pulse raced as I searched the package for some indication of the sender. But no note had been stuffed in the package with the elixirs, nor any name scrawled on the front. I unfolded the paper completely, searching every inch in the hopes of finding some clue.

The effort paid off. There, written on the inside edge of the paper wrapping, were a few scrawled words.

Perhaps these will help us obtain the answers we seek.
