"I believe we have done enough sightseeing," Cassandra said, as she packed her few belongings into a bag. "We should make for the White Spire soon. They should be able to help us divine a way to return you to the island - or at least give them proof that my missives about it have been true."

She took a deep breath, then pulled a small package out of her bag.

"Though first, I have a gift for you. In case this does work, and we return you to Fandom."

The mage stumbled and fell to her knees, the spell that had been building around her fading. Lucille's head hurt, no, her whole body hurt, and the adrenaline made her push herself do her feet. She reached for a sword that one of the bandits had dropped, and swung it, without much skill, down on the neck of the stunned man.

Lucille watched the blood flow from a deep wound in the bandit's shoulder. She felt oddly calm all of a sudden and turned to the next one, who was reaching for his sword. Lucille swung the sword again, and although she lacked precision she still managed to almost sever the man's hand. He screamed.

He let out a helpless whimper, clinging to his limp hand and staring wild-eyed at Cassandra. "Just let us go. Please."

The mage lay unmoving on the ground and blood pooled quickly around the man Lucille had attacked first. The last one was still alive, and he repeated his comrade's plea.

Lucille watched. Cassandra was... beautiful. The blood that covered her armor glistened and Lucille wanted to reach out to touch her with her own blood-stained hand.

Lucille took a step away from Cassandra, and watched the bandits disappear. She felt dizzy, both from the attack from the mage and from the adrenaline rush.

"Does this happen often?"

"What is that?" Lucille asked.

"Is that magic?" Lucille asked. "The glow." Then she felt silly for asking, as Cassandra had just said that she didn't know what the gem was.

"What..." Lucille began, about to ask Cassandra another question, when the world around them changes.

"I believe we have returned to Fandom."

"Oh." Lucille immediately looked in her bag. "The book is still here." Which was reasonable, but it was important to her.
