  It had recognized me. Accepted me.

  I met Mo’s gaze. Her smile was bittersweet. “I was right, though in many respects, I wish for once I wasn’t.”

  “You and me both.” I accepted the hand she offered me and jumped off the rock. “What about the rock? Do we need to protect it?”

  Mo nodded. “Yes, but spells alone won’t do that. Not if my fears are right. Keep watch.”

  I nodded and stepped away. As she knelt and pressed a hand to the cold gray stone that formed the base of the monolith circle, I pulled Vita free and dropped the ring into her sheath. Not only would it be safe enough there, it was the one place Max would never think to look.

  I crossed my arms and kept guard as Mo literally moved the earth—after sinking the real knob deep into the ground, she fashioned another above it. Even I was hard pressed to see any differences between the fake and the real stone.

  She pushed unsteadily to her feet once done and scraped a hand through her hair. “That should do it.”

  I hoped so. “Shall we go?”

  She nodded and immediately took to the sky.

  I took a deep breath and then followed. The day wasn’t over yet.

  We had a sword to find.

  And, god help me, a brother to confront.
