Chapter Eleven

Cadiza was as I remembered—perfect. It had all the old-world charm of any European city. Cobblestone streets and old, craggy buildings were a mainstay. A large cathedral jetted up in the middle of a large courtyard. Magic concealed Cadiza from human eyes, but its geographical location was a breezy, beach side location in Portugal. It always seemed desolate growing up there, but I realized just how close bigger cities were.

I came out of the golden portal on the outskirts of town. Luckily, I hadn’t been seen and would be able to use a spell to conceal myself with invisibility before anyone did. A Bruxa’s magic was limited in Cadiza as blocks built into all the old buildings for the Elders’ protection. If I stayed outside and limited to the newer construction buildings, I would be able to sneak around undetected. The Elders could cast a locator spell to find me, but they didn’t know they needed to be looking for me. I had the element of surprise on my side. The last time I was in Cadiza I was a wreck. I just found out my best friends reported back to Jade the Eldest with every detail of my existence. The bitter taste in my mouth was still there.

The only redeeming memory from that day was Malakai being spared. I never wanted to see Cadiza, again. It represented oppression and lies. With Blythe’s information swirling in my head, I now saw the Elders’ council for what they really were—dictators. They wanted to keep the Bruxas and their powers for themselves. Sure, they wanted to use me because I had the ability to dream cast, but every Bruxa was valuable. I needed to find out exactly how much Jade knew about the dark witches. She couldn’t be as unknowing as Blythe insinuated. I took Jade for a lot of things, but a fool wasn’t one of them. If she didn’t want to get her hands dirty herself, she would have someone do the digging for her. To truly understand, I needed to compartmentalize my time with Blythe. If Jade was willing to talk, I must hear her out. I shuffled through my suitcase and realized I lost all interest in changing clothing, given the fact that I may need to fight, run, or both. I touched my talisman to cast the spell to become invisible.

“Solid is my body form. Take it away. I need to transform,” I whispered. I started disappearing gradually and relished the feel of the magic taking control of my body. The cloying scent mixed with glittering light wrapped around my body like a giant, cool hug. The tips of my fingers vanished as the swirls encompassed my arms and legs. Air took the place of my body, and my head was the last piece to melt into nothingness. I was completely disguised. No one would give me a second look. My casting muscles were weak. Holding an invisibility cast for long periods of time was difficult, even if I was in practice, so I set out at a quick jog to find the people I needed to see.
