not on friendly terms at the moment,” Ryker explained carefully. “Their leader, Akabar, screwed them up really bad, so-”Nolan growled at Ryker for this, however.
     
    “Shut up. We do not speak of him.” Nolan sat back in his chair, and Ryker threw his hands up in surrender and muttered an apology.
     
    “Well anyway, we’re here now. Get your butts off my plane.” Nolan and Angel quickly exited, and it took her a moment to actually notice the beauty of Fairbanks Market.
     
    “Oh, wow,” she breathed, finally looking up. The sun shown hot and bright on her skin, and she sighed in relief. “Finally, no snow.” Nolan chuckled at this.
     
    “I’m not a fan of that stuff either,” he whispered, and Angel smiled warmly at him, thankful for his sudden attempts at kindness. Still, she straightened up.
     
    You’re just being nice to me so you can get information out of me,” she laughed, and Nolan did the same.
     
    “You caught me. Alright, let’s go.” He placed a hand on the small of her back, leading her through the throngs of people in the market. It was sunny, full of trees, and full of magic. The roads were full of people doing tricks, impressing other magical people somehow still. Instead of performing coin and card tricks, however, these were real. Making objects appear out of thin air was apparently an everyday occurrence.
     
    “This is so beautiful,” Angel breathed once again, then looked at Nolan, who didn’t seem to quite detest it as much as he made it seem like he would. He halted, however, then grabbed her arm and dragged her to a stall.
     
    “Come, this way.” When they were standing before the old man at the booth, he smiled at them and gestured to his grand collection of jewelry.
     
    “How may I help you young people today?” he asked sincerely and kindly. Nolan looked closely at the pieces before them.
     
    “Sir, I have a hypothetical situation for you.” Nolan stood and looked the man in the eyes, and the man returned his gaze with a look of amusement.
     
    “Certainly, let’s hear it.”
     
    “Well,” Nolan began. “Say there’s a person who is unsure if they have magical abilities, and they want to find out if they do. How could that person do that?” The old man looked down at his collection of jewels and frowned.
     
    “I can’t really think of anything that they could do to reveal if they have abilities or not. All I can think is this ring,” he says as he displays a gold ring with a red crystal. “This particular crystal will glow if the person wearing it is about to use their abilities. It’s a piece I offer to individuals who are training and attempting to control their powers; it allows them to see their own abilities flaring and helps them to learn to control the initial surges.”
     
    The old man handed the red ring to Angel, who took it hesitantly and slipped it on her index finger. Nothing happened, not that any of them thought that something would, but she stared so lovingly at it that Nolan sighed and turned back to the man.
     
    “How much?” The old man chuckled.
     
    “Free of charge. I get very few customers who are as passionate as she. Let her wear it and love it.” Angel beamed at the man, then looked back to the ring.
     
    “Thank you so much,” she said, genuinely thrilled.
     
    “My pleasure, beautiful girl.”
     
    As Nolan and Angel made their way again through the crowd, there was something different about the way they interacted with one another. A certain tension hung in the air around them, and they found themselves walking a little closer together, and occasionally brushing fingers.
     
    “Look,” Nolan pointed to where the trees began, and a crowd that had gathered there. “The werewolves have probably come. Let’s go see.” He grabbed her hand, and Angel tried hard not to gasp in response. He tugged her through the mass of people until they both could see the wolves.
     
    There were three of them, two of them brown,
