Chapter 52

“Don’t say her name or you shall strengthen the connection she was trying to make,” she warned me.

The moment we made it inside the shop, and the door slammed shut behind us, Archer asked, “Since when does tracking debilitate the trackee?”

He glanced from me to my mum and back again as though he was too concerned to take his eyes off me for too long.

“A tracking spell combined with an incapacitation spell is a very difficult thing to pull off, but I’ve sensed the Grand Priestess’s powers growing for a while now, and I imagine she had no trouble getting one started as soon as she realised you’d left your hiding place.”

My mum still looked worried though her voice had hardened.

“Does that mean she knows where we are?” I gulped. The lump in my throat was growing hard now, and I was trying my damnedest not to begin panicking.

“We can only hope that I managed to break the connection before she got a pinpoint location,” Emelia sighed.
