Chapter 66: Lost To The Wolf

This time, I don't step into the veil at all, but through the gap cleanly, as though Syd herself made the way. I feel my power drain from me as I do, the fire element in my soul feeding the cut in the veil. I know Syd said my wolf is tied to fire, and I wonder if this is the cost of having such power-losing it to the space between planes.

No matter, I'll pay it, no matter the price. I sag against Piers as we exit the other side, his strong hands holding me up. We're in a small grove of trees at the base of a hill and when I turn around to look, I see the faint flare of blue fire miles in the distance.

"Nice job," Piers says. "But we still have to hurry."

I turn and stagger toward the feeling of Sage, so powerful now. I had thought him strong when he touched me before, but I had no idea what strong was. What is he becoming, the man I love, that he has this much magic as a revenant?
