Liv tried to open her mouth to yell at the eight-foot-tall troll who even by Las Vegas’ standards wasn’t wearing enough clothes. However, every time she opened her mouth, she felt like she was drowning in a puddle of water.

“Hello,” the troll said, his diction perfect a chain dangling between the piercing in his earlobe and the one in his nostril. “Are you okay?”

Liv gawked up at the troll, careful to keep her eyes averted from whatever was not completely shielded by his loincloth. People strolled around them on the Strip, their eyes fixed on the lurking beast who smelled strangely like sour milk and cherry gelatin.

“Liv, wake up, would you?” the troll said, again his voice reminding her of someone.

She peered up at the creature, mesmerized by its docile demeanor.

Something shook her. She turned, but there was no one nearby. Still, the shaking continued.

“Hey, wake up!”

Liv jolted upright, her eyes squinting from the brightness of the shop’s lights. Liquid dripped off her chin. She brought her arm across her mouth, sopping up entirely too much drool from her face.

“There you are, Sleepyhead,” Shane said, gazing at her quizzically.

Liv looked around, trying to orient herself. The past twelve hours fast-forwarded through her brain until she remembered how she came to be sleeping on the workbench in John’s shop.

“Hey, Shane,” she said, her voice croaky. “What can I do for you?”

He pointed to the printer sitting next to her. “Did you have a chance to check that out?”

She blinked at the device. “Um, I haven’t, actually. Things got crazy here yesterday.”

Shane whistled through his teeth. “I’ll say. I heard about the kids who roughed up the shop. On top of the earthquakes and vermin, John’s got his hands full.” He looked around. “However, the shop looks better than I’ve seen it in a while.”

Liv agreed with a nod. Rory had done a good job. She’d tried to continue to help that morning by fixing various devices, including the printer, but it hadn’t worked. Every time she pointed at something, a weak spark shot out of her like her magic was broken.

“I’ll take a look at the printer this morning,” Liv promised. “If you stop by tomorrow, I’ll have an estimate.”

“Oh, give yourself a break if you need it,” Shane stated. “Looks like you tuckered yourself out cleaning up this place.”

“It wasn’t… Yeah, thanks,” Liv stammered, waving at Shane as he backed for the door. There was no point in getting herself in deeper trouble.

When the door to the shop closed with a rattle, Liv pulled the printer closer to her. She might not have magic to fix the equipment at the moment, but she had her brain, which was almost better. Then something Rory had said rang clear in her head: “There’s something honest about doing things without magic. Being overly reliant on it is dangerous.”

Liv smiled, the words resonated with something deep within her—a core belief that had made her different from most in the House of Seven. From an early age, she hadn’t trusted magic.
