Chapter 61

Kathy looked completely surprised by the offer. “I get the sense that this is a special offer?”

“Only my Ishaan has been gifted with a permanent spell to understand the language of the Flight.” Carina held her hand ready, a bright spark gathering at her fingertip. “The others may need their ability to understand removed if I must do something like swear. I do not wish to shatter their illusion.”

“I- thank you, I’d like that.” Kathy closed her eyes as Carina’s finger came down.

Carina lightly touched Kathy’s forehead. “This will burn, but the pain is very temporary.” She drew a complex looping shape onto Kathy’s forehead and covered it with her hand, pressing it into the other woman’s brow.

Kathy made a tiny, fizzy sound of pain as Carina pushed the spell into her skin. “That was possibly the oddest thing I have ever felt.”Kathy opened her eyes and looked directly into Carina’s eyes. “My brain can understand you but my ears have no idea what you’re saying.”
