Alyx climbed down a tree to the ground floor, her feet landing softly in a cluster of ferns at the bottom.

Israel was already waiting for her, pacing, his hair a mess like he’d been running his hands through it. “Where have you been? I’ve been calling for you!”

“Two friends of the Elder’s just appeared in front of me on the way down. Vix and Balthazar.”

“Balthazar!”

“You know him?”

Israel nodded. “He was one of the two guys who pushed me into your coma. What did they want?”

“To help. Look.” Alyx explained what happened and showed him her tattoo.

“So you can change steel into gold?”

“Or into silver or glass or any of those simple substances.”

“With magic?” He frowned. “That’s just…unbelievable.”

“I can show you.” She grabbed something shiny off the ground. It was an old metal protractor, probably a student’s. She inhaled and let the magic swirl inside her again, all while commanding it to reform as glass. She felt the warmth rushing through her veins again. Israel made a noise and she knew she’d done it. She opened her eyes and the protractor in her hand was now made of a thin glass.

She grinned, a bubbly feeling in her belly, and tapped Israel’s chin to close his mouth.

He shook himself and took the glass protractor from her, turning it over in his hands. “How did you do that?”

“I don’t know. I just…did. It felt as natural as breathing.”

He nodded. “That’s how I feel about fighting. If you can remember how to use magic then you can remember how to fight.”

She hoped so. “We should grab the globe and get out of here.”

“Yeah, about that…” His eyebrows furrowed. “I have bad news about the globe.”

“What bad news?”

“It’s not the right one.”
