By the time sunlight streaked the sky, Kara had built a nice stack of branches. She dropped the grimoire onto the pile. The book crashed through the makeshift firewood like an anvil and plummeted several inches into the earth.

Kara took out the first match.

She wondered what tricks were in store for her. Would the grimoire suddenly come to life, grow legs, and skitter across the field? Perhaps Sordyr would materialize before her eyes and tempt her with promises of power and happiness.

At the very least, there was no way the match would catch on the first try.

But it did.

Kara watched the flame dance, waiting for a supernatural breeze to extinguish it. The morning remained calm. Still expecting something to stop her, Kara cupped the tiny flame and touched it to the wood. The branches, though slightly damp, caught easily enough, spreading the flames gleefully through the pile. Heat snapped at Kara’s skin, but she remained still and watched the flames engulf the cursed book, certain that it couldn’t be this easy.

But there were no tricks. The book did not rise up into the sky. It did not possess her mind and force her to reach into the flames to save it. A black dragon did not swoop from the sky and snatch the grimoire away.

It simply didn’t burn.

When the fire worked itself out, Kara retrieved the book, dusted off the ashes, and returned it to her satchel. It wasn’t even warm.
