Kuri sat straight up in bed. Her room was white with magic. Her ring was pulsing and ringing in an alert.
She ran to the window. As expected the light was coming from the Esviel Museum.
"Black Wings…" Kuri breathed. She twirled and was dressed in her priestess kimono.
Climbing up to the roof, she hopped lithely on Windcarver, her hoverboard, and flew off toward the museum, nearly collided with a red fox flying that way.,
"I should have known." Kuri grinned. "Reiko."
The two landed outside, thrust their fingers in the lock, and the door whirred and opened.
"Welcome, Lady Priestess. Welcome, Honored Fairy Fox."
Kuri gave a sidelong glance to Reiko. "I get Lady and you get Honored."
Reiko tossed her hair. "It's good to be the best."
What they saw next struck them speechless. A flare of magic and a scream coming from the basement.
