Thresholds
“Maya said.
“You may know more than you know, and your companion might know things as well.”
She covered the egg with her hand. How could he question it? He didn’t know it could talk. She didn’t want him to know. If he knew, maybe he would be able to order the egg around, too.
“We’ll worry about that tomorrow. I have another gift I’d like to give you.”
Silence was a gift, she supposed, though she still wasn’t sure how it was going to work. “Yeah? I don’t like your gifts. Can I say no this time?”... she asked.
“You may.” He reached into the folds of his orange robe, pulled out something. “It will help if you accept this one, though. Hold out your hand.”
“Just show me, okay? ” She didn’t want him to tap her hand and cast some other kind of spell on her.
He showed her a little ring of braided silver, gold, and copper. “This can connect you to us. Choose a finger for it. You can use it to call us when you need us, and it will tell us where you are.”
