My heart stammers in my chest, but as quickly as the adrenaline overtook me, I no longer feel it at all.

I no longer feel anything.

The room shimmers in an odd shade of gray; now that I've crossed over into the spirit plane, I can see past the physical husks around me. Stone walls morph and stretch into the cliff faces they were quarried from, the gems of the chandelier sparkle with a luster only found in massive geodes, and out of the corner of my eye that is exactly what they become.

The physics of the spirit plane is fluid, and I try not to pay too much attention or I'll get dizzy.

But the one thing I really want to know, even though I shouldn't, is what Aeden's spirit looks like...

I've never seen him like this, and part of me is terrified to discover there is a reason he always looks exactly as demonic as his birthright. What if his soul is warped? What if I've bonded to a demon who belongs straight back in hell?

Steeling myself, I stand up from my empty body and look at him.

Shock ripples through me, although it's as distant and muted as every other sensation in this form. Aeden's spirit form is... exactly the same. His eyes are just as brown, even through the tones of gray, his hair shifting in and out of a dull black to the luscious black of his physical form. The quiet pensiveness is as present in his expression now as it is normally, nothing like the way the faces in the painting transformed from false politeness into a skeletal grin that promised pain. Viciousness. Even Aeden's heart burns as fierce in this world of muted grays as it does in real life.

Aeden wears his spirit form every day, concealing nothing, manipulating nothing, and I don't know what to do with that information.

So instead I look for what he wants. It shimmers around him in a vibrant aura, shifting as different desires float to the surface. But sure enough, it keeps coming back to one thing: defeat this trial and get out of here. I reach out and wrap a thread of that desire around my finger, using it to guide my energy. That’s one good thing about being a spirit—with no senses to distract you, you can only focus on what you choose.

My magic seems to like this, rippling happily as I pull Aeden’s aura close.

Aeden eyes lock onto my spirit form and widen in disbelief. I thought he would be able to see what I became even without my power being magnified; our magic is linked, which is why I've taken great pains to hide this from him.

"The power you thought I was stealing was my own," I say simply, because there's no point hiding it. "From birth."

Aeden opens his mouth, but no sound comes out. He clears his throat and says, "Gonna need a minute."

"Fair, but can you speed it up a smidge because we're on borrowed
