"You've gotta be fucking kidding me."
My food goes from delectable to soggy cardboard as my heart drops.
This isn't good. Book, what's happening?
Something's triggered the wards. Every single one. But it's strange; I can't sense anything.
My chair scrapes against the floor as I bolt up. The wards alarm through my head, discordant and jarring enough to nauseate me. My breakfast sits abandoned as my feet carry me through the door; Elverly shouts something, but my senses are too busy with the racket in my head.
"Luna?" Brett asks, but I'm already running.
They all follow without another word, but my mind's tuned inward, my magic reaching out to the bright beacons of my wards. It isn't like a net that encompasses everything in the area, but direct lines; I wish I had the ability to sense everything like a net right now, though.
That's the thing about power. It's never enough.
