in the fall?He shook his head carefully.
Then he saw it.
Something on the sideboard was glowing in the early morning sun. Curious, the silver-haired man stepped closer. He had suspected that Croquet had put everything aside. But obviously that wasn't the case. Something rested on the plate, blinking and shiny. Something that hadn't been there the night before. It was a small, silver amulet.
Frowning, Pegasus reached out and closed his fingers around it. When he opened it to take a closer look at the finely crafted piece of jewelry, a thought flashed through him like lightning.
A smile appeared on the face of the silver-haired man and he carefully put his fingers around the pendant again. The pain that raged behind his forehead was forgotten. A strange feeling of security surrounded Pegasus as he stepped back to the bed.
Still smiling, he sat down on top of him and opened his fingers again. At the same moment a ray of sunlight hit the piece of jewelry.Cecilia's amulet glittered on Pegasus' outstretched hand and it was as if he could hear her voice.
"We'll meet again."
