Azure's eyes widened in wonder. A spell scroll. This was magic. He never knew how much he actually yearned for it until he had it within his reach.

"How much is it?" he asked quickly.

"Three gold," the merchant replied, causing Azure to cringe internally.

"Is that a good deal?" He raised an eyebrow at Lonnell.

"This is black market, boy. A special item. You pay for the risk of me bringing it here. You can't get this anywhere else but in The Deadlands," Ruthren explained before Lonnell could interject.

Lonnell looked over at Azure. “It would be a good deal if you had no intentions of going to The Deadlands. You would likely be able to buy the same spell at the magic school there much cheaper, but few people who make it to The Deadlands come out alive. That's why it's called The Deadlands. Factor in the cost of transporting it here and the price is actually a steal.”

The merchant's grin broadened as he agreed. “Yeah, it's a steal. This kid knows his stuff.” He glanced back over at Azure with greed in his eyes. “Are you interested in buying it?”

Azure groaned inwardly. This was yet another instance of the Bag of Holding. Though he could afford the spell, if he spent the money, he definitely wouldn't have enough to go to the mainland. He had a feeling that quests and opportunities to make money would be more plentiful there, so it was probably better to wait. Regretfully, he declined, feeling like he had lost something when he watched Ruthren roll the scroll back up and put it away.

"It annoys me how expensive things are here," he grumbled to Lonnell as they walked away from the merchant.

"It really was a good deal," his friend told him. "Not a very useful spell if you're not into thievery, but still a good deal."

"Yeah. I'm not exactly looking to become a bandit," Azure said with a sigh. "Are you ready to go back?"

"Not yet. I want to head over to the tavern and check on Bronna." Lonnell glanced in the direction of the tavern, and his disposition seemed to perk up.

"All right," Azure replied, not sharing in his companion's enthusiasm. There was a twinge of bitterness in his heart for the squat maiden. Not only did he find her annoying, but it was easy to trace the cause of all of this back to her.

Playing the blame game probably wasn't fair. Honestly, it was more Lonnell's fault for telling Bronna about Uden's heritage in the first place, but he didn't dare to point the finger in that direction. He was certain that Lonnell felt the guilt―the responsibility for his part in his brother's death.

They walked to the tavern and entered. Unlike before, no one glowered at them now that Uden wasn't present. Azure remembered the confrontation they'd had with the barkeep before. He decided that he was glad to be leaving the island.
