For once, Rinoa was practically dancing on air.
She'd gotten a job! Finally, finally, she could support herself here without having to lean on Jack or Sarah or Charlie. Sure, her new employer had said he was paying her under the table (whatever that meant, he made it sound iffy), but the point was he was paying her. She could buy food for herself and Angelo...and maybe Jack too. She owed him, more than she could express. He might even enjoy her new job; she was a club singer (the man said lounge singer), and the manager told her drinks were on the house if she didn't get carried away.
She'd had to walk a lot farther than expected to find it, and night was starting to fall, but Rinoa had ceased to worry. By lucky happenstance, she'd found a place rich in magick. Although it wasn't exactly the same as the draw points existing in her own land, it was enough to replenish her basic magicks, and the simple fira spell could repell the vampires that roamed at night.
With Angelo carefully watching her back, Rinoa waited beside the dark tar pits for the last of the tourists to go. The signs had mentioned the buried creatures were called dinosaurs; Rinoa knew them as the monsters who roamed the Islands of Heaven and Hell near her home. And no matter if they were long dead, they still held the remnants of magick.
As quietly as she could, she stretched out her hands and started to draw the nearly invisible strands to her..
