After dinner, Lucy stole away from a tiresome conversation with the Montagues and stood in the doorway to the music room, surveying the dark little valley that rustled with the sound of sleeping fruit trees.
What an odd feeling it was to be halfway around the world, alone in a foreign night, standing on ground that had soaked in rituals and magic for countless centuries. She closed her eyes and felt the power of the place, dark and comforting as it enfolded her in the scent of exotic tropical plants and the hush of a thousand whispered benedictions on the warm night air.
It was her destiny, it seemed, to be drawn to such places, on the periphery of great knowledge, which bled through her dreams in images that she knew were familiar. She knew it was her birthright to feel a power coursing through her body into her hands, but somehow she was incapable of releasing it through her fingertips. She once dreamt of snipping the ends of her fingers with shears and watching the power flow out like electricity, crackling from exposed wires. She felt that surge of power now, moving up her legs, as if it came from the earth itself.
Her body ached in the joints, like a dangerous influenza. But she was not ill, of that she was certain. She felt the pain and swelling in her hands and imagined a light, the color of the moon, emanating from her palms.
âThis is a place of magic,â she whispered aloud, as she turned her face to the round moon overhead. It was the moon of her grandmother's lunarium. It was the power source from which all things came, that female polarity that combined with the vibrating earth beneath her feet to explode into limitless power. Just as her kind little father had been the male polarity and the grounding point needed for her motherâs magic, so the dark richness of the earth in this place of ritual, mingled with the ghostly light from above to produce its own offspring.
She thought of Paulo and wondered if he were fertile ground. He should be here with me, she thought. She wanted him there, to honor his promise of showing her the night.
