Chapter 10

“Well?” Riadh asked.

“It seems like I only get that feeling when I touch something magic.”

“I think maybe this is the result of what the dragon did.”

“She wasn’t very specific, so you may be right. I still can’t tell what any of the things do when I touch them, only if they’re magic or not.”

“I remember when Mistress Mildred bought the keys. It was quite a few years ago. Even my magic doesn’t often give information about the operating properties of an object,” Riadh said.

“Do those keys open electronic locks?”

“No. They were created about a hundred and fifty years ago. You have to have a keyhole to insert them into.” Riadh cradled the loop of keys in his palm.

“Do you think there would still be a market for them?”

“As in listing them for sale on Zeeold?” Dale referred to the website for magic users.

“Yeah.”

“I suspect there might still be interest. If a magic user was sufficiently talented they might even be able to modify them to unlock more modern types.”
