Sapphire drew her nail along the tanzanite stone, her lips curling downward. “Who created this?”

“Roskana,” I replied, checking my watch for the thousandth time. I’d hoped to be back in the other realm by now, but it’d taken me a while to track down Dimitri’s pet witch.

The petite, blue-haired female had pledged her allegiance to my cousin and his cause about a decade ago, vowing to help him retrieve his throne. I suspected there was something she wanted in return, but she hadn’t voiced it yet.

“Her magic is very different from mine,” Sapphire mused, allowing the amulet to play over her fingers. “My incantations won’t work on it.”

“Meaning you can’t use it to traverse realms?” I asked her, needing clarification. It dawned on me when I woke up this morning that I had a way to test Kseniya’s comments from last night—by giving her amulet to Sapphire for her evaluation.

“I suspect it holds the power, but it doesn’t feel obvious to me. Roskana didn’t make this with the intent to travel. It’s meant to protect. Which means it could have manifested the escape purely as a result of helping the owner survive.” She shrugged, handing it back to me. “You would have to ask her if it can be used to travel back, but I suspect she might not know.”

“Why do you suspect that?”

“Because this one has never been used for that purpose. I’d be able to sense it otherwise.” Sapphire had a knack for sensing the history of an object, something not all witches could do.

“You’re saying Kseniya has never traveled realms with this amulet?”

“Correct. She’s only used that necklace for her immortality. There’s also an anti-compulsion charm on it that appears to have been added after she left our reality. She’s never had to use it, though, so I’m not sure why it’s there.” She shrugged again. “Another question for Roskana.”

I frowned. Yeah, another question. Of which I had about a thousand now.

Because this implied Kseniya’s curiosity had been real. Which suggested that everything else she’d told me… I swallowed, unable to complete that thought.

Instead, I focused on Sapphire. “Thank you. I’m going to go check in with Dimitri.” Which would only prolong my return, but I needed his opinion.

“Tell him I’m close to locating Anastasia,” Sapphire said softly, returning to the papers sprawled out across a long glass table. “Maybe another week or two.” She sounded almost lost to her words, her blue eyes taking on a faraway gleam as she returned to her task of dismantling wards and searching through space and time.

Dimitri would be relieved to learn how close his witch was to finally locating the slayer. She was vital to our plans and perhaps the only one who could help us successfully remove Grigori from the reformed Vampire Dynasty throne.

I uttered a soft goodbye to the witch, but she was too lost in her thoughts to hear me. At least she’d been able to pay attention long enough to give me the answer I needed.
