"I don’t know, Lizzy He hasn’t even attempted"

"He values his head Can’t blame him for that"

"If he wants soo?"

Liz rolled her eyes "He doesn’t want soh tilass, "He’s just outside that door"

Torn, Myra didn’t knohat to do "I couldn’t go to hiht before she asked,

"How about a spell?"

"A what?"

"Just a little silence spell" They had been working on uidance Lizzy had taken to studying the books on witchcraft In fact, Lizzy see Druid Myra re that the only way to defeat Grainna was to get inside hersilent in both secrets and noise" Her hopeful expression worried Myra on a deep level

"I don’t know"

"Coward"

Myra sat up taller and felt the challenge Liz had given her "Fine"

Lizzy jumped up and found the books hidden in a secret hole in the wall She took the one she needed and returned to the bed She flipped through the pages until she found what she wanted "Here It suggests using an object to charm"

"What does that mean?"

"Like a lucky rabbit’s foot"

"A foot of a rabbit?" Myra wrinkled her nose at the thought

Lizzy laughed while she scanned the roos, walked over to the vanity, and removed a cord used to hold her hair back "This should work"

Myra blushed and shook her head "I don’t believe I’ this ‘Tis wonderful"

Lizzy chuckled "He won’t knohat hit him"

They used a small cup and filled it ater and a dash of lavender With great care, they cast their circle Somehow, the poithin the circle of candles bound their thoughts, their energy, their gifts andthem

Liz slowly added the cord to their moist mixture

She closed her eyes Myra followed her lead

"Nature calls Myra to her man, we ask for silence from within Use this object to keep the quiet, to help her with her desperate plight If the Ancients will it so, we ask this please so she can go"

At first, there was nothing, not a tingle in the air, not a spark froht and blue before blowing itself out

"That was corny," Lizzy said, rolling her eyes

"Did it work?"

"I’m not sure" Liz removed the cord and wiped off some of the moisture "Let’s test it"
