"Con In my estimation, there’s about a sixty to sixty-five percent chance this ork The other thirty-five percent? Hard to tell Either not work at all or backfire And you can never tell which way it’s going to swing"
I sed the last of ers on a napkin "What kind of ic do we need in order to cast the spell?"
Luna and Zoey exchanged glances Luna pushed her plate back
"First, we need five witches--four for the ele her head "I can hold spirit, but the responsibility…what happens if we fail?"
"Then we fail" Grieve looked at me "Chatter and Rhiannon can both hold the fire, but Chatter can also command earth You hold the wind We need water"
"What about you, htened and hopeful We could do this The possibility that we could actually free him from some of the chains Myst had placed around his neck overwhelmed me It was hard to even speak
"Grieve cannot take that part Not when he’s the focus of the ritual" Luna shook her head "I can call the water, too, but then we’d need someone for spirit"
Just then, Peyton walked over "Let Kaylin hold spirit"
Luna clapped her hands "Yes, that would be perfect So we have our five Elemental watchtowers" She turned to Zoey "What else do we need?"
"A drummer--I can do that I’ve been trained on the doumbek But I think we still need water Luna, you’ll have to be the singer of souls for this The ritual de spirit--Kaylin--enter Grieve’s y from his" Zoey looked around She pointed to Rex "What about hi his head "I will do this I a of Rivers and Rushes Water is my element as well as the air"
I turned, startled "You will help us?"
"If this can help Grieve, we should attempt it Even if we destroy Myst, he’ll always have the tendency to revert back to the energy of the Indigo Court" Wrath glanced at the clock "We dare not atteht, just in case soather the rest of the components needed What else does the spell require?"
Zoey pulled out a book and showed us the title: The Tide of the Indigo Court "This ritten several hundred years ago, and I found it tucked ahen I went searching through the archives"
"What will the Akazzani do to you if they find out that you’ve reazed up at her sister, and all I could see was gratitude in her sain
"They would punish me There are crypts deep in the fortress, and they contain the shades of the dead historians who have passed out of our realious, they’re locked down there for a tihosts for company They seldom ever break another rule"
She sobered, then shook her head before Luna could say anything "I chose to do this You neededfaency This qualifies"
"We can’t ever let theo that treatment" Luna paused "You could stay with us When it’s over Iat her feet "You know I a I will die in the fortress I have broken the rules for you, but I don’t know if I could willingly leave them They are ain be" She pressed her lips together
Luna let out a little cry, clutching the table I could tell the co not to burst into tears I wasn’t sure if I should say anything or let it go
Kaylin, however, wasn’t as reticent as I "If Luna isn’t your fah to break the rules for, then obviously she’s ues" He leaned over Luna and placed a protective hand on her shoulder She glanced up, a startled look on her face, but smiled at hie ofsome snide retort, but then she just shook her head "You don’t understand I didn’t mean I don’t love her--or ht into the Akazzani, and nothing short of expulsion can break it"
"Don’t argue, please" Luna let out a short sigh "If we are to work o, Kaylin If Zoey is happier with the Akazzani, she should remain with them" And that was the end of that
Wrath intervened as well "Cicely, you must be exhausted Rhiannon, Grieve, Chatter, Kaylin, all of you as well Go rest You will need the reserves tonight" He stoppedlanced up at hiht be cautious,I have foreseen it The power of the winds, they are now a part of you in a way that you do not yet realize The fan--open it now"
I pulled outit open As I held it in ic fro "What happened?"
"You became the hurricane You became the wind The power of the fan transferred into your soul You no longer need it to harness the winds You can pass it on to another because now you are part of its Eleer need an anchor, it erous You haven’t had a chance to train yet, to realize just all you can do"
I sighed, leaning against his shoulder "First, I find out I’ic-born but that I’m also half–Cahter in a past life and that obsidian sets off the bloodlust still in my soul And now you tell ? I feel like I’hter, you are actually in the process of finding out who you really are In ti, Cicely, into a force like none I’ve ever seen You are vulnerable, in danger, but the potential within you is frightening" He strokeda soft kiss on the top of , you must be cautious when you call on the winds"<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
