Arthur was barely able to keep the smile off his face. “But first, I have some welcome home gifts for the both of you.”

“So, this city of yours is going to be our new home?” Horatio asked, but he and Cressida had sat up at Arthur’s words, interested.

Brixaby, who’d been half paying attention to the humans’ conversation, came over. With a flourish, he pulled out two cards from his Personal Space.

“You should be grateful that I did not eat this,” he commented offhandedly. “They were rather magically heavy to carry around.”

“They can’t be heavier than all those combat cards you carried from Free Mesa Hive that one time,” Joy said.

“Yes, but that was briefly and during battle. These have sat in my Personal Space for some time, tempting me . . .”

Ignoring the byplay, Cressida and Horatio sat forward eagerly.

Cressida halfway reached for the card. “Is that . . .” She glanced at Arthur. “Are you sure?”

“Well, it’s not like I can put them in my card anchor.” He meant it as a joke, but there was a note of bitterness he hadn’t planned for.

Cressida shot him a sympathetic look. Horatio, meanwhile, had no trouble plucking the card from Brixaby.

“Rainbow Knight?” he said doubtfully, but then his skepticism cleared up as he read on. “Wow, Sams, what do you think of this?” He turned the card to his dragon so he could read it.

Though Arthur knew what the card said from before, his Reading skill let him scan over it again at a glance.

Rainbow Knight

Rare

Combat Support

The wielder of this card will be able to collect all spectrums of light from 10 to 750 nanometers from artificial and natural sources. This light will be stored in a light well with a meter accessible from the wielder’s card deck dashboard. Light collected from natural sources such as fire or sunshine will naturally be more potent. Once collected, the wielder may be able to emit that light again at will. Note: This card can only collect visible spectrum light and does not include any heat generated by light.
