I glance inside the room, unsure if I heard correctly. Did I hear, magic?
Inside, I notice that a young boy has my small box in his hands. I slip through the door to look closer, but the boy doesn't seem to notice. As I recall, this is Gaius's assistant. I am aware that Gaius used to use magic, but this boy?
I try to look over the boy's shoulder to see what he has done. The beetles are alive, definitely, crawling about, waiting to be used.
I grin. This is perfect. Now I know something that could get Gaius out of the way. Finally, everything will go perfectly.
