	“I’m sorry darling,” said Fia. In retrospect, maybe she should have actually paid more attention to what the djinn was saying instead of only half listening while trying to figure out the nature of Arcan’s ethereal body capable of physical interaction. “You already told us you had limited information, and I wanted to push just how much you knew. Well, what’s done is done. I’m sorry my dear, Rezello. We may have found the initial problem. Somehow, this sceptre ended up in Scheel, and it along with everyone there was sent back here. What happened to the rest at the other three landing points, their fates were probably not much kinder. Perhaps if you find that necromancer.”
	Fia held the sceptre in her hands. It was broken, unable to be charged, but still held the spell within. If it was controlled remotely, then there had to still be a connection. Fia channeled some magic into the sceptre. Like following a string, Fia tried to trace the controller Arcan spoke of. For a moment, Fia could sense it. The controller was close, likely somewhere still in the vault. The contaminated room, perhaps? Either the wizard was still here, or he abandoned it after getting what he wanted. The sceptre was still in the hands of the man who clutched it after the teleportation, so it was unclear if the wizard even knew of its condition. He probably knew that he couldn’t recharge it quickly. Either way, it seemed that lead was cut short.
	“If you like, darling, you can have this instead.” said Fia to Rezello. “It seems intimately tied to your backstory, and in its current condition, I don’t think it will be of much use. Its controller is nearby, though. Maybe we will stumble upon it when our darling Miko decides to purify that barred room. There seems like the place to find it. If not, I wonder where else inside the vault that necromancer plundered.”
