ISIDORA

My eyes went wide when I saw all the gold bars and coins piled beneath the false bottom.

“Blaze… this…” I stammered, unable to believe it, caught between excitement and fear. “Is it okay for us to keep this?”

I lifted my gaze to those golden eyes as my brow furrowed.

Blaze crouched in front of me and reached inside, running his hands over the glittering coins. Some were/silver, but most were gold, and I even caught a glimpse of a few precious gems.

“They don’t have the seal of any house, and there are no identifying numbers. No one will know who they belonged to before,” he said with complete certainty, staring straight at me.

Where had he learned that? I wanted to ask him about every mystery he was hiding, but I pressed my lips together and swallowed my questions.

“Then…”

“You may keep them, my lady. You just need to be careful with this seal.”

With his bloodstained fingers, he picked up a thick gold ring carved with the symbol of a wolf.

“I’m sure this was the seal of one of those merchants. His identification, for stamping important documents.”

“Yes, yes, look…” I pointed at one of the old parchments. “Lookwood Factory… it’s the deed to a factory. I also found this recipe, and it mentions an ingredient I don’t recognize.”

I showed it to him, leaning closer without caring about the sharp iron smell of the blood from the animal he was cleaning. “He called it Moon Powder…” The moment he said those words, something shifted nearby.

It was subtle, but I heard it. So did Blaze. His cold stare slid toward the centipede curled near the tree line, playing dead.

“Wait…” Blaze rose all at once, and I watched in confusion as he walked toward the creature. The knife in his hand was still dripping blood, leaving a thin trail behind him.

He bent down and whispered something to it. I couldn’t hear him clearly, but I would’ve sworn it sounded like a threat. The creature’s whole body jerked violently. Then Blaze leaned in a little more and stretched out his hand to take something.

I shot to my feet, terrified it might attack him or trap him inside one of those illusions.

But Blaze only turned back to me, calm as anything, and walked over.

My curious eyes landed on the black scale he held between his fingers. It was bigger than the palm of his hand.

“That worm knows what the ingredient is. That wolf merchant risked going into its lair to get this.” He lifted the scale he had pulled from the poor centipede’s shell. And yes, poor thing, by then I was even starting to feel sorry for it.

“This?” I didn’t even want to touch it. It smelled awful.

“Yes. According to that wolf’s memories, you add it to the recipe at the end, ground into powder. No one knew he had perfected that medicine. It’s a secret only we know now,” he assured me.

“And his friends?”

“None of them made it out of this forest.”

The

gears in my head wouldn’t stop turning. So we had a chest full of gold, the deed to a factory, and a recipe that could be worth a fortune.

I needed to find out what it was for.

“But… if the last ingredient is its scales…” I looked from Blaze’s unreadable face to the centipede, which was slowly dragging itself back toward the forest.

It went stiff when I looked at it, then suddenly lifted half its body and shook it frantically in what looked an/awful lot like

“There must be more of those scales in the cave where it lived. I think it sheds them. We’ll inspect it tomorrow… right?” He turned, and the creature started nodding with its whole body.
