'Given the compass in her hand, it seems that one of my possessions indeed has a connection to them. They must have a tracking rune embedded onto it that I might have missed.'

A cold sweat formed at the nape of his neck, trickling down his spine. Oliver felt a chill as he heard her casual words. It did not look like she was joking.
