Despite the myriad distractions and my fear of losing Quinn, I was somehow able to tune out the explosions and lethal magical attacks. Trusting Liana that she’d ensure everyone was doing what they needed to be included in my magic, I focused all the energy that remained to me into picturing the rocky outcropping beneath the cliff, several thousand feet behind us.

I envisioned Quinn, Liana, Irving, Brogan, Trina, and Mulunu down there with me, the mist coating every surface of my body, whisking my wings away and returning my tail with a squelching pop. Mulunu and Liana’s tails would emerge too, and I even envisioned Trina with a tail as well, hoping some of her mermaid magic remained even though Lizbeth had drained her powers.

Liana cried out in alarm next to me, dirt spraying my bare legs. And as my mind wanted to return to the right-here-and-now to protect myself and those I cared for, I couldn’t. If I did, we’d all be captured, dead, or worse. I forced myself to trust in Liana and crystallized my focus with every speck of determination left in my mind and body.

The crashing waves, throwing mist in every direction. The cold, wet, slippery rocks beneath us. The steep cliff beside us, concealing the remains of Lizbeth’s burning castle and all those who perished within it. The power of the sea, gifting us safety.

I cycled through the imagery until I was certain it had managed to overcome our present circumstances, and then I refused to entertain any doubt as to whether I contained the power to succeed. I was doing this, end of story.

Focusing so hard that a slight tremble spread through my limbs, I whispered to Liana, “Now,” then pressed my lips together tightly, again shoving away the screams and pained cries that threatened to pull me from the images in my mind.

Hands clamped around my body, and shouts and explosions popped far too near.

Now!

The ocean at the bottom of the cliff, the ocean at the bottom of the cliff...

The telltale tug on my stomach signaled that it was working. Vertigo wrapped around me as I struggled both to hold on to our destination and all my passengers.

Eyelids clamped shut, I channeled every bit of my merged magic into doing this. I pushed and streamed and blasted my combined siren and angel magic into depositing us all at the rocky outcropping.

Shaking from the effort of it, a seed of dread bloomed inside me as I realized it was taking too long. It should have worked by now! We should be there already.

It had to be how many people I was transporting with me.

Sweat beaded along my forehead and dripped down the curve of my back. I’d believed I’d already been giving it my all, but I had to give more. If not, we were all dead. Surely, with the delay our attackers would be closing in on us. Whatever they wanted from us, they’d get it if I didn’t manage to get us out of here right this second.
