Why did I ever let anyone notice me? I’d be safe if I’d stayed boring and forgettable. This is what happens — when someone sees you, soon everyone will see you.

“Particularly wanted to see” — does he mean ME? I need a better spell, Turtle thought in a panic.

As long as this stick is near me or touching me, I enchant it to hide my entire existence from Darkstalker. That means he cannot see me or hear me; he cannot remember that he’s ever heard of me; he cannot hear about me in other people’s minds or conversations, and he cannot see me anywhere in his future. I enchant this stick to completely erase the dragon holding it from Darkstalker’s awareness.
