“So, you’re saying that she had been the wife of the king of Wegalla and the wife of Emmett Keller?” Raven uttered with a look of shock on her face after Anubis briefly told her the story. And then she just went back to the king after Emmett died, only she had assumed a new identity? That sounds… unrealistic!”
I rolled my eyes but then forced myself to conduct myself with more decorum. Raven hadn’t met Emmett Keller in person. When Emmett was alive and visiting Yurene, Raven and Roxy had been too young. But the twins, along with everyone else in Yurene, knew all about the great sorcerer who was capable of impressive magic and then disappeared like a ghost,
Before I could offer a comment, Raven spoke again.
“Do you believe that Cas sandra is the key to Emmett’s great sorcery?” she wondered, and when I offered the smallest of nods, she nodded too. “That’s possibly true, but there’s also a chance that Emmett just ruined all of his inventions before his death and hadn’t kept any trace of his research or information.
“I don’t think that’s true,” I remarked. “Just before Emmett died, he didn’t have time to deal with anything back in Wild Crawler. So, the talisman must have been back there.
Raven nodded thoughtfully.
“Is there a possibility that Emmett used a certain spell to keep the talisman from being found?” I ask moment to think about it and then shook her head firmly.
her. Raven took a
“No” she said. “If something contained magical power, it would be sensed, as it would surely emanate a certain amount of energy. But none of Ca ssandra’s things emit any power. We would have been able to discover it immediately”
“Are you sure you haven’t just missed it?” Anubis demanded.

Raven seemed irked by his angry tone and glared at him with ferocity. Her nostrils flared and her posture shifted from relaxed to defensive. “How dare you challenge me? You’re nothing more than a low-rank sorcerer-”
“That’s enough,” I said, and before the two could get into a quarrel, I stepped between them. My head began to ache and I found myself glowering at Anubis. Though she was so young, Raven was the best sorceress in the whole of Yurene. If she said that the necklace and the rest of Ca ssandra’s belongings didn’t have any traces of magic, I didn’t doubt her. She would be able to sense the energy an object like that would emit.
“Do you have any other ideas?” I asked Raven. She considered the question for a moment and then seemed to have a
realization.
“Yes,” she answered softly. “An idea occurred to me just now but I’m not sure if it’s possible.”
“Tell me.” I insisted calmly, though I was eager to hear her theories. She tended to ramble, but she was incredibly smart. Her theories weren’t anything to brush off, and if she could find an answer when I couldn’t, I would be elated..
“Normally, a sorcerer needs a talisman to perform powerful magic,” she explained. “But the talisman isn’t necessarily a…. thing.”
I frowned. “What do you mean?”
Raven tucked a strand of her dark hair behind her ear. “What I mean is that it could also be a person.”
1 froze in place for a moment as I tried to make sense of what she was suggesting. Did she mean Cas sandra? Was the beautiful, mysterious healer from Wegalla more than just that?

Chapter 214
Did Emmett Keller use Cas s andra as his talisman?
When I asked Raven just that, she lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the ground. “It’s possible. Using a person to be a talisman would give a sorcerer more power than say gold or silver. But I highly doubt it because it sounds far too brutal. You see, a talisman can be permanently damaged by powerful magic. Sorcery usually takes a terrible toll. So if a sorcerer used a person as a talisman.”
Her voice trailed off and she inhaled deeply. Her statement hung in the air and I didn’t quite know how to react.
Would Emmett do that to Cas sandra?
I wasn’t sure. I didn’t know the complexities of their relationship. Would he use her in that kind of way? He didn’t seem like a cruel, manipulative man, but then again, surely there were things I didn’t know about him.
