“Heavens.” Scarlet paced along her floor. Her fingers trembled as she rubbed her forehead. “Give me a minute.” She took a few deepbreaths.
When she returned, I ran a hand along herback.
“Surely, there is an answer in one of your books,” suggestedDahvi.
“Books.” Scarlet jabbed a finger at the ceiling. “Yes.”
She scurried over to her herb book and flicked through it. “Heavens no. That won’t do. Hmmm. No.” She turned a few more pages, her eyes scanning thetext.
My stomach tumbled like a rock rolling down a hill. I glanced at mygenies.
Dahvi bit hislip.
Sweat dripped off Kaza. Despite all the kisses and bravado, he was not doing dowell.
“This might work,” said Scarlet. “The magical sands of Katar was reported to have once healed an injuredunicorn.”
“Where do I find the sands?” Iasked.
Scarlet rubbed the back of her neck. “The Collector trades magical items. She might havesome.”
The Collector? That bitch didn’t exactly have the best reputation. She probably knew of a way to steal my genies, and while my body rotted in some shallow grave, she’d sell them to the highest bidder. My chest threatened to burst at that idea. I couldn’t lose the chance to save my brother. Lose the chance for a better a life. Lose the chance to be with themall.
Bitter tears stung my eyes. “No,” I said. “Noway.”
“Red is the only one who can help,” Scarlet urged. “She’s helped me out a fewtimes.”
So The collector went by the name Redhuh?
“Master,” said Dahvi, his voice insistent and firm. “We must dothis.”
Kaza’s muscles quivered from pain, and he bit his lip. How much longer did he have before his conditioned worsened like Ali’shad?
I’d do everything in my power to help save Kaza, as I intended to save my brother. “Looks like we are paying The Collector avisit.”
