"Oh, for fuck's sake," said Amber, and she entered Jasmine's bedroom and slammed the door.

“Oh goody," purred Grace. “Company. Come sit, ladies. Daniel, go get Eric's belongings."

Eric watched the girls sit on either side of Grace on the couch and then went into his bedroom and retrieved the magic bag. He came back in and tossed it to Grace. She caught it and nodded. Daniel watched her look inside the bag when Grace looked up at him. "My wine?"

Daniel grunted and opened the wine. He poured four glasses and emptied the bottle. He brought over two glasses and gave one to Amy and Jasmine. Amy smiled at him, and Grace smirked. He brought over the remaining glasses and handed one to Grace and then sat on the coffee table. He motioned to the bag. "Go ahead. Check out the magic bag. It's all there except for what we spent. About three gold pieces so far."

“I don't care about the money. Magic bag? That's what you call this?

It's called a Bag of Holding. An extra-dimensional pocket. It's worth a fortune. Eric had rich parents."

“Duke Garcia of Lanceshire."

Grace nodded. She started to pull items out of the bag. She tossed the spell book to Daniel when she pulled it out, surprising him. She then tossed the large pouch to him after she checked the contents.

When she reached the small pouch, she stopped and tossed the bag to the floor. She opened the pouch and emptied the marble egg into her palm. She looked pleased. "This is it."

"A marble egg? That's what you're after?"

"It's not a marble egg. It's an egg.”

"Like a real egg?"

"Yes."

"What kind of egg?"

"Nothing to worry your pretty abs over, my dear boy. And they are pretty." She looked at Amy and Jasmine. “Am I right?"

They glared at her.

Grace laughed. "Oh, my Gods, you three are priceless! Brian would LOVE you guys. He could please his goddess in a heartbeat!"

"Is the egg what you guys were after when you came through Acron?"™

Grace studied Daniel for a moment. "You've learned how to spell cast, haven't you?"

Daniel nodded.

“How's that working out for you?"

Daniel felt a little nervous. “Pretty good."

“What have you cast?"

“Um, Pest Control, Levitate, Charm Person, Cone of Frost, and uh, Servant."
