Summary
Agnes continues to wander, her hand falling on a small trinket tucked in the corner of a shelf. It’s an old silver pendant, its surface etched with faint runes that catch the light. Without thinking, Agnes picks it up, rolling it between her fingers as though it’s familiar. A faint warmth pulses from the pendant, spreading up her arm.
Rio freezes. That pendant is not just a decorative piece; it’s imbued with magic, a protective charm hidden among the shop’s oddities. Agnes should not be able to activate it—Wanda took her magic. And yet, the faint shimmer of power surrounds Agnes’ fingertips.
Agnes remains oblivious, lost in her thoughts. “It’s funny,” she says absently, still fiddling with the pendant. “Sometimes I feel like there’s more to me than this. You know what I mean?”
“Maybe there is more to you than you think,” Rio offers with a measured smile.
—or—
Rio has a plan: to break the spell that holds Agatha captive, even if it means risking everything. — Set after the events of Dancing With Death, but can be read as a stand alone.
