Septimus is called away by OC Vanessa, and she says it is a Matter of life and death, but what does the journey to Aurum hold in store for them? Maybe a bit of Nicko/OC included

1. Prologue

The dark-featured girl moves through the Way quickly and almost silently, riding a sort of scooter without handles. She has experience from years of tiresome walking and has learnt that riding a Skayte Board is a fast and easy way of getting around. This Skayte Board clearly shows signs of magykal enhancement; it has no wheels and hovers two or three inches off the ground.

Unknowingly, she Passes Through a few ghosts, but no solid, may it be man, woman, child or dog, is hurt; the girl maneuvers the Board - or maybe the Board maneuvers its self - so that it weaves in and out of commoners and traders.

Occasionally this girl stops the Board and flips it up into her arms to ask a seller how much this fruit is, or how old that anklet is, but she never buys anything and is soon on her way again, traveling directly towards her target: the Wizard Tower.
