Seraphine kept her hand resting on the tile protruding from the floor while magical energy lightly flowed through her fingers.
The mage smiled faintly.
"So…"
She looked up at Max, Dorian, and Don.
"…the hidden room should be underneath this."
Don slowly nodded, still somewhat shaken after watching half the carpet get destroyed.
"Correct."
Then he raised a finger.
"But before opening it…"
He looked directly at Seraphine.
"…you should fulfill your part of the deal first."
Max let out a small laugh.
"That's true."
He looked at the mage.
"You promised to teach him a magic trick so he wouldn't rat us out."
Seraphine crossed her arms while thinking for a few seconds.
Dorian looked expectant.
"Are you going to teach him a fireball?"
"Or beams of light?" Max asked.
Seraphine completely ignored them.
Then, slowly, she removed one of the rings from her right hand.
It was silver, with a small blue gem embedded in it.
She handed it to Don.
