The moment she saw the medallion, she knew. What it was. What it meant. How to collect and arrange the minor magicks available to her and, when the flare came, siphon some of those energies for herself.

A beginning.

Her death, fighting beside Andrew: illusion. Dead, she’s off the books, nobody looking for her …

… or on guard.

Vengeance for Halfrek? against the source of vengeance? Impossible, too much power there. But with time, care, planning …

Never go for the kill, he’d said, when you can go for the pain.

In time, she’d show him it was possible to do both.

Intriguing possibilities. Very interesting.

Thank you. I had originally intended to try and work out an actual story from this (someday), but when the Snowflake Challenge called for a fanwork, it was something I could do quickly.

No idea where it might go, but if anyone else felt like writing it, I’d definitely be interested in reading it.
