“Fiiiiirewooooorks!!!”

Lucian giggled and clapped excitedly while it rained coins.

Herald buried his face in his large hands.

“That was drastic,” Diera said.

Everybody looked at the mess of molten gold and gems. There was no trace of Viper.

“That … was … drastic!”

“She tried to kill Charity,” Pike insisted, “Forget the gold. The Dagger of Daxion was always the priority, and time is of the essence.”

“You’ll stay with us?” Pike asked Herald and Lucian.

“Yes!”

“Aye!”

Diera smiled.

“The family is growing!”

Nobody saw the moving shadows when they left.
