Starblade- Cance;s Lukrasta's spell

Lukrasta muttered under his breath and made a sign in the air.

I tensed. This was the moment of truth. Would the starblade be strong enough to protect me against his magic?

Sparks flickered at his fingertips, and a blue light flashed toward me. But I held the sword vertically before my face, and the light played around its sharp tip before changing to orange and fading away.

I smiled then, showing my teeth.

Grimalkin had forged a powerful weapon for me. The mage couldn’t hurt me with his magic. I was about to have my revenge. I would pay him back for taking Alice from me.
