![]() So…would you and Tessa be willing to come visit and check out the situation? Maybe you’ll be able to tell something about the objects since you recognized some of them. And we’ve bothered Hypatia, Magnus, and Ragnor so much that I don’t think we could bear to have one of them come and then tell us it’s the objects that are the problem. We’ve followed some sketchy clues to find them, after all. Maybe it’s that we need a warlock to do the right magic, but the more we look at the items we’ve collected the more we wonder if one of them is wrong. I think I liked him better when he could only move things around in the dust.Īnyway, we could use your help. Or leave me prisoned.”Īnd with that, he disappeared - kind of flew apart in white-silver pieces, like papers blowing on the wind.Ī shudder went up my spine. “Not worth destroying yourselves,” he whispered. ![]() She was … destroyed.” He was so upset that the features of his face seemed to be rearranging themselves, his eyes widening to be huge like an anime drawing. I don’t know if it was because he was angry, or because the curse-breaking spell had had a tiny effect. It was probably the most we’ve ever heard him say, in terms of real distinct words and phrases. Thank the Angel, the wind died down and the chill went out of the air. He swept a glowing hand through the candles, snuffing out the flames. Rupert, half-transparent and looking furious. “ Nooo.” It was a harshly breathed word, and I felt a presence sweep into the room. And it was loud, much louder than any music box could be, like the sound was being picked up and whirled around the room. This was some other tune, something dissonant and harsh (as harsh as the tinkly sounds of a music box can be, I suppose). ![]() And not the tune it usually plays, which is a Strauss waltz. Julian started paging through the books fast, looking for some kind of cancellation spell.Īnd then, of course, the music box on the sideboard began playing by itself. I had a terrible sense of encroaching darkness, like my vision was beginning to fade at the edges. Falling hearts effect tumblr skin#I started shivering, not because it was cold (although it was suddenly very cold) but because my skin was crawling. After all, how wrong could it go?Īnswer: very wrong! A chill, clammy wind immediately rose up inside the dining room and swirled in circles, blowing out most of the candles. Now, I’m sure you’re staring in horror that we decided to do this ourselves, and you’re right, we shouldn’t have, but we were just so excited to have all the objects that we thought it was worth at least a try. ![]() We tried to make ourselves sound very important, like we knew Raziel well and would be having a pint down at the pub with him once the curse breaking was over. A sort of We call out for the curse laid upon these objects to be broken, in the name of the Angel Raziel. We combined several of the Latin spells in the books to try to get something workable. When we lit them, it did look very mysterious and magicy. Fortunately we were able to grab tallow candles at the Shadow Market, and we arranged them in a circle around the objects. They all require cursed objects to be brought together, and for candles made of pure tallow to be lit. Julian, of course, had already read the books, and noted the similarities between most of the curse-breaking spells. And looked up some stuff about it on the Internet, though I have to say you never know with “online” whether you’re accessing a real magic spell or something tied to some kind of game. I guess it was optimistic to think things would be that simple!ĭuring the past few weeks we’ve collected a number of books on curse-breaking. Julian said it was like we were trying to get the objects to have a romantic evening together. We placed them all in the dining room together and lit some candles, but nothing happened. So here’s where we are: we’ve assembled all of the items-we think-that are tied to the curse. (Ask Kit if you don’t know what a “spoiler” is.) ![]() Spoiler alert: I think we’re going to need your help again. As promised, the newest updates on the House That Wouldn’t Stop Being Cursed. ![]()
