As they did this, Mambo was reading them.

“You’re expecting to be attacked here. These are warding spells to protect us.”

Death was honest.

“I like to be prepared for the worst. The minute we do that spell to get your memory back, and you find the sword, it’s going to be a race to find it. If Mathew gets wind of it being out in the open…”

They all got it.

It was going to get zombie up in there.

Because he knew what was going to be coming, Rinnon was honest.

“Then, we’re going to need to start moving. We’ll need to be ready.”

On this, he was correct.

It didn’t take long for Vanth to do her‘shopping’. As the wall opened, Vanth walked through, and she was carrying a bag with a bunch of things in it. Not only that, but there was a young man fighting to get away from her.

“One virgin, a bunch of herbs, and a goat horn—minus the goat. I couldn’t find a horn by itself, so I had a snack.”

And then, she burped.

“Excuse me.”

Jolie sighed.

“It’s a circus.”

Vanth grinned.

“And you’re Daddy’s head clown,” she stated, nearly inciting violence.

Sometimes, Vanth didn’t know whenNOTto make a comment.

As Jolie went to go for her, Rinnon grabbed Jolie by the back of the pants to stop her.

Could she kill Vanth?

No, but they could wreck a place.

“Vanth, go gather Cerise and her cop bed buddy. The lair said they are having sex, and we need all the help when we find this.”

And it got Vanth out of there.

When she waved at Jolie, and disappeared, Jolie stepped on Rinnon’s foot.

HARD.

“My love, when you want sex, just ask,” he said, winking at her.

She actually laughed.

How could she not?

“What do you need from the virgin?” Death asked, focused on the man.

Kiera tapped her own arm.
