Stop touching it!
( if it's that bad. she turns back. ) The knife, the arrow. I will take them. And we just won't touch them. We'll forget they're there and we won't tell anyone we have them, okay?
Hope, you're acting like I haven't been handling it for months already. They're fine where I have them. I'll let you know if I get the feeling that someone's trying to open up a Malivore portal over my bed, but I think we're as safe as we can be.
More than no. ( She plays that back. ) I feel like the way I speak is rubbing off on you. I caught that wrong, but, we do nothing with them, okay? Leave them where they are. As far as we know, all the knife does is open a portal that doesn't exist here.
That was the plan so far. And as far as I know, it only ended up with me because it was inside me when I died. Maybe... the knife was another part of it? I don't know how long I was -- unconscious -- before I got pulled in here.
[Maybe Raf and the Necromancer stopped to do a few rituals. Maybe there was something else. It's uncomfortable not knowing.]
No, I don't think it's that logical. I mean, I ended up with Vardemus' therapy box and an ascendant. I was inside one and related to the other, I helped power it, but so did thirty witches. But, it came with me. So, maybe it's just about ... how it relates to us. Or, the power that these hold is so great - and useless - that they came in with us.
( She hopes it's that and there's nothing dagger-related connected to Landon's fate. )
It needs more power, but, yes. An ascendant, basically, sends someone somewhere else through a portal. Usually a linked prison world. The chances that this ascendant could get us anywhere are slim, and even if it could, it would get us back to a prison world that collapsed. Or, maybe it didn't because for Josie and Lizzie that hasn't happened yet?
( It's hard not to talk herself in a circle about this. )
