This was… this was it.Thefeeling.
“Hold your focus on the task!”
I blinked at my dad’s voice.
Right.
Of course.
I looked out to see the Animated Fleshwork were drawing so close now.
I slammed my palms together, creating a crazy shockwave with all that power. It radiated out and swept through the Animated Fleshwork in a tidal wave of flooding, sparking amber.
It hit all of them.
Sighs of tranquility escaped them. My soothing had sustained and helped all the way through.
Then all forty of them dropped right there, their spirits now gone, back in the Valley of the Dead where they’d been ripped from by those two sorcerers.
“Incredible work, Win.”
I smiled.
Now all that was left was to send their bodies back to their correct graves.
To do that I had to end Risen Reckoning and use a normal sweep of magic.
I went to call my power back.
But…no.
Not yet.
I just wanted a moment with it, to enjoy it.
I closed my eyes, letting it roll over me.
Holy. Fuck.
“Winter, the spell is done. Call it back.”
More. More.
Just a little more.
I thrust my hands back up toward the sky.
More lightning sparked, becoming way more ferocious.
The sensation was spectacular. Like pins and needles, but not the unsettling kind.
Just… perfect.
So right.
Euphoric beyond belief.
“Regain control.”
