A distraction became a piece of news of more importance than this futile search. The necklace that Terra revealed was the very one they were hunting. Caspa's eyes flashed darkly at the sight, but it wasn't through disappointment - just the natural hue. She was delighted to see her pendant, and highly tickled at the way Terra had found it. She just hoped the fiery girl wouldn't take this surprising news badly. "Terra, I know how it fell on your head. That's my necklace!" she exclaimed. "I'm sorry to say, my good luck has become your bad luck. I must have dropped it before I thought I did. I'm so glad you caught it." She shook her head, amazed at her change of fortune. "How did I not see it before? You are wonderfully sneaky. I must make this up to you somehow, I am being mean depriving you of your new treasure." Of course, she hadn't actually reclaimed the trinket yet.
