One moment, Kieran had been high above the village and looking down. The next, they were back in the main hall of the monastery, and people around them were shouting with surprise. Kieran, who had had centuries of battle preparation and trial by combat, was only a bit surprised, and looked down at Hailey, grinning like a fool.

To his shock, however, she was looking around her in dismay.

“Hailey? What’s the matter?”

“I… that wasn’t what I was… I meant to fly us back.”

“Hailey, love, there’s nothing to be concerned about. Nothing! I’m fine, you’re well, you’re better than well. You’re amazing. Please, look at me.”

Instead of doing that, Hailey stumbled backwards, her eyes as wide as dinner plates.

“Kieran, don’t you understand? I completely lost control. I could have drained you dry. I could have seriously hurt you!”

Kieran made an impatient gesture.

“The mountains could rise up and dance. The sky could fall on our heads. Neither of those things happened, Hailey, and you didn’t hurt me either. Come, come and look, just look for yourself.”

He tried to offer her his arm again, but to his shock and his pain, she recoiled from him.

“Hailey?”

“Oh god, Kieran, I can’t! I can’t. You don’t understand. I wasn’t in control. I could have done anything.”

“I trust you. I wasn’t afraid at all.”

“I am!”

The words were torn from her, and seeing the look of pain on her face, Kieran fell silent, completely stunned. Hailey had just accomplished some of the most amazing feats he had ever seen in his long life, and instead of being proud of herself, instead of being exhilarated, she looked horrified.

“Hailey, please, just look?”

She shook her head wildly, backing away from him so quickly she almost fell. When he tried to right her, she jerked away.

“No! No, don’t!”

Hailey turned and fled, leaving Kieran to gaze after her.

His first instinct was to go after her, but rationally, he knew that all that would happen would be the same thing all over again. Instead, he restrained himself, shaking his head. He looked up to see that there were people in the main hall staring at him, and even worse, he could see Donato at the back. Though he wanted nothing better than to go to Hailey and to make sure that she was all right, he grit his teeth and walked up to the coven master instead.

“So you’ve awakened the dragon,” Donato said. Kieran could have struck him.

“I am performing my function as a major in the Magus Corps, coven master,” Kieran said stiffly. “I would thank you to remember that.”

“I don’t question your resolve or your function. I only want to know what you have done to a member of my coven.”

Kieran’s temper boiled at the man’s tone.

“Member of your coven? What it looks like to me is that Hailey is kept wrapped in cotton. You know what her powers are, how amazing she could be, and you keep her locked away from her ability to use it. In times past, that would border on torture.
