They've got a problem, so they're calling in a consultant... ----- Chapter 13. It was not, Victoria admitted to herself, a sufficiently dramatic method of invoking a legend. Urelle simply gazed with full concentration into the Lens, a small girl with her black hair hanging in her face, staring intently at a little crystal object barely larger than her pinky nail. Faint glimmers came from it, so faint that she could not be sure it wasn’t merely reflection from the light-orbs in the room. Then she spoke the single word: [ Continue reading... ]
