Cate opened her eyes to find she was in an unfamiliar room. Dragging herself up, she looked around and felt strangely rejuvenated. There were no visible wounds; Jason must have given her enough energy to heal. A lot of energy it seemed, she didn’t feel the least bit tired. Getting up, she checked herself over. Yep, completely healed. She was going to thank him in a big way. He had helped her stay alive through it all, but first they needed to talk.

Casting her senses out, she instantly felt Jason close by. Hurrying out, she stopped in the doorway and saw him sitting in a living room with Niara. How did we get here?

She heard them talking and hung back, fully raising her shields, so they hopefully wouldn’t sense her.

“Cate?” Niara called.

Cate took a deep breath and lowered her shields as she walked in. “Grandma,” she smiled and hugged her. Niara returned her embrace and it felt as though she were hugging sunshine. “How did we get here?”

“She brought us here.” Jason got to his feet.

“Do you feel better?” Niara asked her.

“I’m fine.”

“Good, I’m sure there are things you need to discuss and I have a meeting to get to. We’ll talk later, dear.” Niara was gone in a flash of gold light.

“You never mentioned the Serenity was your grandmother,” said Jason.

“I don’t get to see her often. She is the complete opposite of Seline,” said Cate. “Thanks for what you did earlier. I completely lost control and would probably have gotten us both killed.”

“At least you gave Raven something to think about.”

“I should have killed her. I would have.”

“I know, but with two Nulls there, we were at a disadvantage,” he said. “Are you angry with me?”

“No. Why would I be?”

“For stopping you.”

“No, I know you did the right thing. Raven is still strong, despite the fact I’ve weakened her twice now.”

“Twice? When was the first time?”

“It’s a long story and I’ll explain later, but we need to talk. First though…” She wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him down for a passionate kiss.

He groaned and pulled her closer, deepening their kiss.

Reluctantly, she pulled away. “I had to do that before we talked. I’m not sure I’ll feel the same way after.”

Jason looked away. “Cate, I…”

“I know you’re a Nuardan.”

He gaped at her. “How?”

“Raven told me, but I’ve always known you’re more than you seem to be,” she said. “I know the Nuardan are from the Old World, but I don’t exactly know what they – you – are. I’m guessing you’re some kind of Elemental?”

“Nuardan are Gods, who have power over the earth and all its natural elements. Air fire, water, and everything in between,” he replied. “I’m only half Nuardan, so that makes me a demigod and I’m half Denai, as you know.”

“I get that. What I don’t understand is why you’ve never told me before.”

“Because in the Old World the Nuardan are slaves. The Ashrali enslave any race they view as a threat to them.
