"Today is our next-to-last class, so I feel I should tell you that next week's class will not take place in the Danger Shop here, but at a gallery in town. Be prepared to bring any tools you believe you'd need to stage a break-in." Sophie's smile was wide.

"Now. Today's assignment." She hit a button and the setting changed to an opulent palace, Tibetan and Chinese in design, with a ceremonial dagger encased in glass on a raised dais in the middle of a throne room. "The Phurba, or kila, from Tibet. Currently in the possession of an insane warlord. The three sides of the blade represent the blade's power to transform negative energies known as the "three poisons" of attachment, delusion, and fear. Only those who are initiated in its use can wield it. His possession of this artifact gives him great symbolic power inside his domain." Sophie's eyebrows went up. "Get into this palace, and past his guards, to retrieve the dagger, and the people of his country go free from his brutal reign, as the loss of the dagger and status will turn his own men against him."

"Good luck."

Raven was half-listening, half-daydreaming. Joan had wanted her to talk to an adult about what had happened with Chuck. She knew she couldn't talk to Professor Skywalker about it without dying of embarrassment, and she was intimidated by Aphrodite, because, hello, goddess. Maybe she could talk to Sophie. She'd consider it, at least.
