[ On Christmas morning, a small package will appear at the foot of Caleb's bed.
Inside is a pendant, a long one, set with a diamond-shaped, ruby stone. Its frame is yellow gold, with clean lines and a fine chain that's a good deal stronger than it looks. It radiates with a strange kind of power which does not feel like Nate's.
But there's a note attached. ]
Normally, I make my own presents, but I made an exception. It's like the necklace I wear, charmed to protect you. Wear this, and you can take a blow that would otherwise kill you. You'll still be weak, but you'll have time to escape or drink one of these potions.
I want you to be safe all the time, and it's not in my power. This is the best I can do.
I love you. N
[ Beneath the jewellery box, there's a set of six vials full of a bright golden liquid. ]
