Silvermist's breath hitched as her head snapped back, eyes scanning the trees behind them. The sudden shift in the air still lingered — a powerful pulse that sent a shiver down her spine before vanishing as quickly as it came.
It wasn't just her. West stiffened beside her, his sharp gaze locked in the same direction. Sebastian, pale and looks like he's about to pass out, struggled to stand on his own.
Mila suddenly felt her fingers cold. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice cracking as she hold her bag of snacks closer.
"You didn't feel that?" Sebastian muttered, wincing.
"Feel what?" Adeline asked, glancing between them.
Silvermist's silver eyes flicked toward the horizon, her brows knitting. "Magic... strong magic. It came and disappeared—like someone had opened a door... and slammed it shut."
Ezekiel's heart picked up, but his face remained blank. He hadn't felt anything — none of them had — except the Season Apprentices.
