I slept well for the first time since I got in the game.

  I stretched and jumped out of bed. I felt refreshed and ready to try out my hand at enchanting.

  I grabbed the dagger from the floor and set it on the bed. I had enchanted a dagger with the Ice Slide spell before, and I was sure I could do it again.

  I flipped my spell book to the Ice Slide spell. It had returned to its normal blue hue. Like the enchantments, all I had to do was wait for a few hours and the spell would recharge and I could use it to enchant another item.

  I copied the spell over to the dagger. This time I was faster. I held the dagger up to the light and examined the rune. I was perfect.

  I set the dagger down and picked up one of the swords. I turned to the fire spell. I transferred it over to the sword. The second sword got the electric spell. I kept any enchantments off of my sword. I wasn’t sure how many enchantments it could hold and I needed the paralysis enchantment on it.

  I thought about what to put on the axe. I was a bigger weapon, so it felt like it needed a bigger enchantment. I turned to the Hail Storm spell. It was the biggest spell I had, so I might as well use it.

  The axe was double-bladed, with each head larger than my hand. I thought about where to put the rune. It would make sense to put it on the shaft, so that it could be triggered while fighting, but with the spell, I didn’t know if it would go off out the blades, or down the shaft.

  I decided the safest thing to do was to put it on one of the heads. That way, it could be triggered out the blade when it connected with something.

  I quickly transferred the circle over, but after one glance at the rune, I knew it wasn’t going to be as easy as the others. This one had lots of curves and swirls. It was going to be difficult to match every stroke perfectly.

  It took me almost an hour, but I finished. I held the axe up and examined my handiwork. I didn’t know what a bad rune looked like. All I had to go on was that the runes in my spell book were depleted and that the ones on the weapons looked like the ones from the book.

  I gathered up the weapons and copper ore. I had an idea what I wanted to do with them now.

  I left the room. As I predicted, Jonnie was waiting for me at the bar.

  “You ready to have that drink with me?” He asked

  I was about to reply when Mei walked in. I smiled sweetly at him. "Mei! I’d like you to meet my friend Jonnie.”

  Jonnie turned around to look at the new person in the room. Before he could say anything, his skin turned gray. His mouth clamped shut and he almost fell out of his chair.

  “Aren’t you going to say hello?” I asked

  Mei glared at him. "Mage.”

  “You know what.” Jonnie slid off his stool. "I’m uh, going to go wait back at the Guild.”

  I waved to him as he left.

  “Who is that?” Mei didn’t bother to try to hide her disgust

  “Just a friend.” I answered.

  Mei raised an eyebrow.

  “Okay, he’s the guy who helped me get a spell book. Now I kind of owe him, so I’m letting him go on the dragon hunt.”

  Mei shook her head. "Mage are glass. He’ll break the first time it looks at him.”

  “Then we won’t have to worry about him long,” I shifted my bag to my other shoulder. "Did you get it?”

  Mei nodded.

  “Good. Give me a few minutes to sell these and I’ll be back and start enchanting the items.”

  Mei turned towards the room. I could tell she was tired. I hoped she wouldn’t fall asleep before I got back. I really didn’t want to see what she was like when she got woke up.
