"That is what I am wondering too. I thought that he was just some weird kid who might have stumbled on the splinter and made a wish with it but it is more than that," he said.

"I searched his things when he was out and found another splinter in his ring. There was no more splinter but I fail to believe that it is a coincidence that he has two splinters," he explained to her.

"True but he seems very dangerous and powerful. From what he did earlier I would advise you stay far away from him for now," Lacie advised feeling worried for her friend.
