The Saint laughed:
"Of course."
The last wisp of lingering white mist surged into Shard's body, instantly filling him with spirit nearly to the point of explosion, finally accelerating the Ring of Fate behind him to its limit.
In the desert wind, under the silent moonlight, amidst the crackling sound of the campfire, a parchment suddenly floated out from Shard's pocket.
Every letter of the "Mermaid Princess" story, handwritten by the Chosen of Space - Dorothy Louisa and Lecia Cavendish, was glowing. The glowing letters detached from the parchment one by one and merged into Shard's Ring of Fate, which was shining almost like the sun.
The spinning of the ring stirred up a gale, but Miss Nate, squinting her eyes, still saw it. A new rune was engraved on that ring.
