Chapter Five

Raea was glad her invisibility wish was still working. She could hear the footsteps crunching through the leaves. It sounded painfully familiar, but this time she wasn’t weak and helpless. She was ready to zip up into the trees. Unfortunately, she realized Kyne would not be able to join her.

He was still human.

True, he still had his wings—they were a part of him, after all—but given his size and his bulk and his apparent lack of magic, there was no way he could use them for actual flight. He was stranded on the ground, fully visible to anyone who might come by here.

And he was naked. He was beautifully, temptingly naked. She flew to him and perched on his arm, tugging at his hand and shoving at him, trying to get him up.

“Come on. Get out of here. He’s going to find you.”

He laughed at her feeble attempts to move him, but he did as she commanded. He sat up and shifted position. By the Skies, but he was remarkable. She had been half afraid the sight of him as a human would destroy her craving for him, but it didn’t. She still wanted him. Perhaps even more!

First, though, she wanted him safely away from here.

“All right,” he said, as she tried to push him up to stand on his feet. “Watch out. I don’t want to step on you.”

“I’ll stay clear,” she assured him, buzzing around his head. “But you need to hurry. He sounds close!”

He moved quickly, but not nearly as silently as she would have wanted. Humans were such clumsy creatures. Fortunately, due to his size, he could cover a lot of ground. One bound with his long legs and he was hidden behind the rocks. Not that this would do much to protect him if the approaching human thought to look there, but for now he was out of sight.

“Why can’t you just make me invisible?” he questioned when she followed and began tugging at the undergrowth, hoping to cover him with it.

“I don’t have enough dust for that,” she explained. “Look at you, Kyne. You’re huge.”

“I told you this would be a problem.”

“Shh. He’s right there. See his light through the leaves? I’m going up into the trees. He’ll probably have that device again and I can’t have my magic nearby, giving you away. Stay hidden.”

She hoped he would be smart and follow her advice. She had barely made it up to the lowest branches when Baylor came crashing into the clearing nearby, waving his flashlight and his device.

“Kyne, is that you?” the man called out.

She held her breath and willed Kyne not to answer.

“Damn it, I know there’s magic here,” the man said. “I can detect it—I have sensors all through this part of the forest. They’ve already automatically alerted the council, you know. Whoever you are, show yourself now before it’s too late.”

Nothing answered him but the night breeze and a distant bird call. She could tell the man was frustrated, but
