The night came and went without the Rogers’ home falling under attack. That morning, Clarke called Emma and let her know they were heading out soon. The succubus put Ashley to work Scrying the path home and said they’d call if they spotted any trouble. Clarke pulled the motorcycle out of the garage, and he and Sammy hit the road, wary of any signs of suspicious activity.

They pulled into the mansion’s turnabout without any incidents and parked the bike in the garage.

Emma and Brooke rushed to embrace Clarke before he’d finished dismounting from the bike, and Ixia wasn’t far behind. Ashley hung back, smiling pleasantly at their return.

“I was so worried about you!” Emma declared, squeezing his left arm.

“We were worried!” Brooke corrected, embracing him from the right.

“Glad to see you made it back in one piece,” Ixia said. “Both of you.”

“Glad to be back,” Clarke replied.

“Hey, don’t I get a hug?”

Everyone faced Sammy, who held her arms wide.

“Well …” Brooke’s face twisted, as if the mere memory of Sammy’s toxins could make her hurl.

Sammy laughed. “I kid, I kid.”

“Actually, there is something.” Ashley approached Sammy and looked her up and down. The celestial held out an open hand and passed it across the slime girl’s torso.

“Problem?” Sammy asked.

“Not sure.” Ashley’s hand settled near the slime girl’s stomach. “Your magical aura feels different somehow. As if it’s being contorted by some outside influence.”

“That doesn’t sound good.” Clarke joined the pair. “Ashley?”

“There’s definitely something here. A magic that’s not hers. Very weak, though. Too weak to be any sort of threat, unless we’re dealing with a very sophisticated and well-hidden spell.” The angel tilted her head. “Sammy, did you, by any chance, eat something weird recently?”

Sammy and Clarke turned to each other, and realization dawned on their faces.

“The ring!” they said in unison.

Sammy cocked her head back and wiggled her hips. She rolled her neck and thrust out her chest, grimacing with effort, then swished a small object around in the back of her mouth.

“Hol’ ouh your han’,” Sammy said, keeping her mouth partially open.

Ashley sighed and did so.

“Bleh …” Sammy let the obsidian ring drop onto the angel’s hand.

Ashley grimaced and picked up the small artifact with thumb and forefinger. She held it up to the light and gazed through the loop.

“My, my.” A smile slowly crept onto her lips. “Where did you get this?”
