Chapter forty-four

At the Guard

Yolani let out a weak groan as consciousness slowly returned to her.

A scent of cinnamon infiltrated her senses. Her head and ears were cradled on something soft and warm.

Her whole body felt light, like she was on a cloud, and waking up was the last thing in the world she wanted to do.

Recent memories caught up to her quickly, though, and she cracked an eye open.

The sleeping angel was a sight to behold. Little lines of glittering light trailed out of her hair and down to reach the protective wings wrapped around the entire bed.

She realized the soft, warm thing she was laying her head on was Elania’s lap.

The rhythmic breathing told her that the other girl was fast asleep, and she didn’t want to wake her, so she stayed still and enjoyed the moment.

Somehow, she nodded off again to sleep a little longer...

Until the urge to pee interrupted the calm and she didn’t have a choice.

Elania’s eyes opened the moment she moved, and she pulled back her wings. “Feeling better?”

Yolani nodded. “Yeah. I think so.”

“You were out for a while,” Elania said. “The medic said it was soul exhaustion. You were healed multiple times in quick succession.”

Yolani winced. They had figured out what Lightbringer West had done to her. “I’m sorry.”

Light flared in the room, and Elania’s eyes lit up like golden lamps. Her wings flickered out. “You’re sorry for what they did? I’d kill them, but I can’t a second time...”

Yolani shivered at the intensity of the declaration. She wasn’t sorry for what they did, but for the worry and trouble she caused... maybe that was the same thing.

The anger in Elania’s eyes evaporated into something more vulnerable, and then she leaned in to crush her in a hug. “I’m so glad you’re okay, Lani.”

Yolani hugged her back.

They stayed like that for a moment before Elania pulled back and wiped her eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m not supposed to be like this.”

“What do you mean?” Yolani asked.

“Emotional. It weakens this form for some reason. I’m not sure why,” Elania said. “And right now, I’m worried about returning to being human.”

Yolani stood up. “Sorry, I need to...” She gestured to the corner of the room, and Elania nodded and turned her back.

That didn’t stop the explanation for what had happened during the last day or so since she had passed out.

The City Guard was in a state of chaos when they arrived, and the guards had been occupied with protecting the fortress and administrative buildings. The Lightbringers had somehow secured the Noble District, and Magister Roland was dead.

Magister Keswick wanted them transferred to the Magistry immediately for Elania’s divinity. Gaston had informed Bannon of what she’d discovered about consuming the monks, and the three remaining magisters had been very interested in that.

The monks seemed to be attempting to re-bridge across the chasm to their district from their fortress, but several cannon attacks had put a stop to any bridge building.

There had been no progress in restoring the
