The group were crowded around the bird bath, the necklace clearly visible at the bottom, with a locked box next to it.
"Ok, who's going for the necklace? And that box," Zoe asked.
"How cold it it?" Willow asked.
"Very," Thomas replied.
"I'll still do it, but someone else will need to get the box," Willow said.
"I'll do it," Sean said.
"Let's do this," Willow said. Willow and Sean rolled up their sleeves and the group stepped back, then plunged their hands into the ice cold bird bath.
So, I go for the necklace, and immediately regret my life decisions.
It was so cold. My arm was numb in a few seconds.
"Its so cold," Willow said.
"I got the box!" Sean said.
"Have you got feeling in your arm?" Willow asked.
"No."
"Me neither," Willow grabbed the necklace, "I have it!"
The group rejoined them and looked at the necklace and box.
"What is that box? Do we have any keys we didn't use that might fit work on it?" Lizzie asked.
"There's no keyhole," Jack said. The group stood for a moment, puzzled.
"I think we should leave it in the break room for now. It might be useful later," Willow said. The group agreed.
"We'll take it back for you," Alex said. Jack gave him the box and he and Lauren left. The guests headed back to the witch.

When the guests made it to the moat, Mark was still standing in the exact same place, still in a trance.
"We have your necklace! Now let Mark go!" Sean shouted.
"Throw the necklace into the moat," the witch said in a sing-song voice. Willow threw the necklace into the moat and Mark was released from the spell. He stumbled back, clearly disoriented.

"What happened?" he asked, dazed and confused.
"She had you in a trance," Sean explained.
"Oh. For how long?" Mark asked.
"About 20 minutes," Sean replied.
"Send your chosen two to me and I will reward you greatly," the witch sang.
"I don't wanna vote again!" Sasha exclaimed.
"Looks like we have to," Phil said. The group trudged back to the break room, each one of them desperately trying to justify who they will vote for.

Leading the recruitment charge is Zoe, a powerful technomancer, one of the first generation of Talents. On her adventures, what will happen? Your votes will decide. A/N: I'll update chapters when I get to places where I feel it's right, I don't know where to go and want some direction or would like to have you help with the narrative in some way. Having others make choices forces me to be creative and I think that's when I'm at my best. Keep an eye out for polls in post chapter notes, they usually last 2 days. As always, love each other, and know I am grateful for every single person who reads my works.

Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales
Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales is a web novel based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG and video games. It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America. If you need someone to perform jobs in the shadows of society such as bodyguard duty, espionage, or even murder, Leon Eagles is the man to call. Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are still yet to come...... This is my first web novel, brought over from ScribbleHub, and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Unique terms or further in-universe history for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be explained upon request, or you can check the ScribbleHub glossary here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/297362/shadowrun-the-wild-fire-tales/glossary/. I hope non-Shadowrun fans become interested in the Shadowrun world at large, and I hope Shadowrun fans are entertained by my take on this great in-game universe!
