Jaime turned to us, smiling. “You asked me if Tanitha had any favours coming from Cassia, Dave. She didn’t, but I earned one.” She winked.

I’m not totally sure what happened next. I think the big bad wizard fainted, because the next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor looking up at Alex.

“Dude, you are such a wuss!” he said, joking. “You’d think you’d never seen someone come back from the dead before.”

I bolted upright and gave him a hug. I’d never been so happy so see anyone before in my entire life. A stood up and looked at the others. Will and Robert’s wounds were all healed, even Robert’s ruined eye.

I looked at Jaime. “How…” I wasn’t sure I wanted to ask, in case I reversed something. “How did she…”

Jaime rolled her eyes. “Dave,” she said with mock disdain, “she’s a goddess! She’s allowed to break the rules!”

Tired though we were, we headed to Adrovan’s straight off. We wanted nothing more to do with this place. Ever.

Even in a game.
