### 1. Touch the Dark

Cassie goes to the basement in Dante's Casino to talk to Jimmy the Rat. She finds a cranky pixie in a tiny birdcage next to Jimmy's cage, demanding to be let out and speaking to her as though she knows and was expecting her sooner. Cassie gets stuck in a Tar-baby Spell trying to get the keys from Jimmy's pocket. Danny the Shrunken Head suddenly animates. The Pixie cuts it in half, then promises to get it's body back for the password to release Cassie. That' when it's revealed that the head is only plastic. Jimmy wakes and tells her the password is "banjo". Jimmy runs off as soon as he's out... then the Pixie gets Cassie's help to break the spell that frees the witches. Cassie finds that one of the witches is Francoise. John Pritkin thinks that Cassie knows her though she denies it.

### 2. Claimed by Shadow

Radella captures Cassie, Kit Marlowe and Tomas—her guard kills Mac. John Pritkin. Billy Joe and Pritkin's Golem are also captured. In the Dark Fey prison, Kit and John make a deal to free them in exchange for casting Jera, the fertility stone of the Runes of Langgarn—Radella longs to have a child. She corralled all those who were going through the portal back to the mortal plane—Cassie, Tomas, John Pritkin, Kit Marlowe, Billy Joe—Mac and the Golem were missing. JP demands to know where Mac is... Radella told him "The forest demanded a sacrifice before it would let us through. It went for the girl, but the mage offered himself instead.” Billy's worried about whether he'll have a body. **Radella** slaps him with the flat of her sword into the portal saying: "Get in the portal, remnant, we don't need your kind here.”

## Quotes

"Oh, no. You aren't my Cassandra, are you?" — Radella
"I'll free the witches," she said, "but I need you to open a door for me." — Radella
"We are not spies," Marlowe said loudly, apparently to thin air. ... "You are in our land without permission," came the answer; "therefore, you are whatever we say you are.” — *Kit Marlowe and Radella, in the old forest in Faerie*
"I'm the Pythia," I said, deciding that a title might be better than my name. As far as I knew, it couldn't be used in enchantments. "We met before, at Dante's, if you-” ... "I'll be rewarded highly for this," she said, ignoring my attempt to trade on our brief acquaintance. "Seize them." — *Cassie and Radella, in the old forest in Faerie*
