?“Do not be consumed by your primordial nature.”
?Facing the rebels, my fated still coming for us, I sink claws into our cemented bond and drag it towards my mind before opening a section of my shield.
?Forcing Varian to have no choice but to hear and listen to me.
?His mind is connected to six others. I can feel their individual minds and aura. Can nearly see the wisping threads mentally.
?Mavyn, Varian breathes to me and I can feel my other fated’s surprise and relief.
?Alexandros, I demand through Varian’s mind. I can feel his pain at the force I use within his mind, and if I’m not too careful I’ll fracture it.
?Mavyllora, he rolls and his power tries to consume. I can feel Varian and the others wince. My fated, the Death Devil, and the mage able to wield more than one element.A pleasure to finally meet you.
?You will not be destroying the Willow of Lore. Pull your people back. Now.
?I am not cold, I am not demanding, I am not anything. I speak, and itwillhappen. My words are truth that has not happened yet, but it will happen. It almost sounds like I’m writing a fate. And he hears that.
?We must break the veil.
?Not today.
?He hesitates for a moment, and then,And if I don’t?
?His heart beats and I squeeze it. Slowing his blood flow from where he stands just within the tree line of the woods to the left of the eastern field.
?Then I will kill every single one of your people on this field and all of them still hiding in the surrounding woods. Including those just within the Hinterwood.
?Distantly, I can hear Percius speaking what Nana said. I release his blood and take another step to the rebels and my fated only a hundred yards out. With that single step I release my hold on my aura once more.
?The force is stronger than I’ve ever let show. Blanketing everything in red and blue belladon.
?You have until my aura reaches the edges of Syngenia grounds. Ten seconds max.
?The rebels are still running.
?Five seconds.
?I touch the blood within every heart before me.
?Three.
?Everything within goes silent.
?Two.
?You can want two things at the same time, I whisper to him – Forgotten God of Blood Moons
?“One,” I mouth, and then every single body before me disappears in a blink. I cannot feel the blood I had before. Then I’m pushed out of Varian’s mind and my mental shields are once again sealed.
?There’s still so much stillness within. Waiting and waiting and waiting. Then I do what I have always done. I make it all disappear.
Thirty-Seven
Jullia – Februis 27
There’s so much tension in the air and it makes me feel like I’m going to throw up. Or that just might be my anxiety because a bone witch, the oldest witch alive, just said my best friend is the very first witch ever created reincarnated.
?Mavyn is Syngenia the Blood Witch.
