“Our secret. You’ll explain it to me later?”
My question is full of hope and layered with a request that’s deeper than wanting an explanation about how his power just did what it did.
“Yeah, angel. We’ll have our moment later.”

My head hangs as I close the back cover of the Book of the Gods Binding for the twelfth time.
Pieces are scattered.
Events misplaced in time.
Half information.
Key elements not erased but never written.
Everything I’ve run across that hasn’t made sense, I’ve gone to V about. I’m fortunate in all aspects that he doesn’t grow tired of me and allows me to question him.
Yet, he is of minimal help.
He repeats himself constantly.
“You read. I will guide when it’s time.”
I have read. It is time.
We leave in ten short hours.
Everyone is packed and in bed. Except for me.
I tried to get ready for bed. I’m already in my pajama pants and shirt, but my mind continues to sift through the choppy answers that are turning my thoughts into mutilatedsentences.
One incomplete thought rolls into another.
I grip the edge of my desk and stare at the array of information spread out. It’s all useless, yet somewhere within the pages, our answers lie.
My peripheral catches on the silk baggies sitting in the chair across from me, where Riven left them.
Ten perfect pocket-sized Angel Aura Amethyst.
He and Thayla retrieving the crystal was a major success and help. It’s been repeated several times in the book. Although it doesn’t explicitly say what the two creations have in common, my promising assumption is, they’re both created with divine connection and will activate around one another.
I strongly believe by carrying an Amethyst with us, if we come close to the replicated Binding, then the energy that will pour between the two will be unignorable. We’ll have no choice but to follow the pull of power.
I wouldn’t have been upset with Riven if he couldn’t find them. It was a highly difficult and last-minute task that I placed on him, but I would’ve been disappointed that we didn’t have that advantage.
He was frustrated with me that I wouldn’t explain why I wanted him to get two no matter what, but I couldn’t tell him the truth when I haven’t even explained it to Thayla yet.
I wanted one for myself because I have no doubt in my abilities to sense great power. I’m confident I’ll be able to feel the pull of the Binding once we’re in its range.
If it was in my possession, I also wouldn’t have to worry about one of them carelessly losing such a precious material.
Thayla needed one because well…
She has a divine connection. She just doesn’t know that.
