By the time I woke, the morning was almost gone. My family and Ulrick sat around the dining room table, eating a late breakfast. Mara remained pale and Leif hovered over her. Questions about the lifesaving spider shot from everyone’s lips as soon as they spotted me. Father enlightened them about my spiders, and I asked them to please keep the information quiet.

“Why?” Ulrick asked. “If it were me, I’d want everybody to know what I could do.”

“But I don’t know if I can duplicate the magic and get the same results. Best to wait until we have discovered everything about it.”

Ulrick remained unconvinced.

“It’s a logical strategy,” Leif said. “One that could save her life.”

“How?” Ulrick asked.

Leif glanced at my mother before speaking. “If, for example, someone was after Opal. If the person knows what she can do with her magic, they would have a way to counter it. If no one knows about her skill with the glass spiders, then she will be able to surprise them if she’s attacked.”

“Good point,” Ulrick said.

“No. It’s an excellent point. Those who brag and boast might cause problems, but they’re easy to counter. It’s the quiet ones who are deadly.”

I considered Leif’s words as Ulrick and I visited the equipment suppliers Father suggested. My instinct to keep a few magical incidents quiet had been correct. Although, I realized I shouldn’t rely on my instincts as much. Working with Zitora, I’d been unwillingly involved with criminals. Thinking my actions through and approaching a situation with a strategy in mind would be prudent.
