“Excellent, so am I.” Another giggle vibrates against my lips as I hear my mom clearing her throat from behind me.

When I turn to look over at her she’s grinning at me like she’s finding the pair of us entertaining. “If your gift is still at Nyx’s, I can transport it here now,” she offers, my eyes widening in surprise.

“I’m assuming it’s still there,” Rhea adds, clearly hearing my mom’s offer and I nod at my mom.

With a snap of her fingers, I feel a small weight in my free hand and I know exactly what it is instantly. “Thank you,” I murmur, watching my mom nod and turn back to the kitchen as I look down at the object in my hand.

“Have you got it?” Rhea asks, and I nod like she can see me before I find my tongue.

“Yeah.”

“Are you going to share with the group?” From anyone else, that question would be offensive, but with Rhea it’s different. I’ve seen hers and all of the Elite’s gifts and it’s only fair they know mine too.

Turning the small pendant over in my hands, I run my thumb over the intricate detail that greets me on the other side. “It’s the talisman of Medusa,” I start, speaking the words I’ve never actually said out loud since I learned what it could do. “It’s a pendant with the goddess’s face and hair etched into the metal, and with a rub of my thumb over her face and the murmur of someone’s name on my tongue, they turn to stone.”
