Chapter 32

Darian

Darian pushed open the door to the meeting room. Mikel, Raphael, and Stephen sat at the long table with troubled looks. Darian sighed. He wasn’t ready for more bad news.

“Has the radio worked at all since yesterday?” Mikel asked Raphael.

“No, but I don’t think it’s the radio.” Raphael leaned back away from the radio and rubbed his hands through his dark hair. “I think the operator we spoke to the other day is gone, and he was the only one within range.” He stood and approached the long table, the map still spread out on one end. “EMPs don’t last forever. Once the technology is repaired, we should be able to use it again.”

“But according to all of our reports, the bombs took out almost every power station,” Mikel replied from his own chair at the table. “I assume that was deliberate.”

“Has Adalina’s team made it back from England?” Darian asked.

“Not yet,” Mikel replied. “I assume your Sentinel is finally awake?”

“Yes.” Darian dropped into the nearest chair. “She’s trying to put on a brave face, but I’m worried she’s right on the edge of breaking.”

“She didn’t look very fragile ten hours ago,” Mikel replied. “What did she do to the demons, anyway?”

Darian shifted in his chair, unsure how to explain what they experienced. “She was reluctant to talk about it,” he replied. “But I believe she connected to their minds and somehow destroyed them.”

“So, the emotions you felt belonged to the demons?” Mikel asked.

Darian nodded, still not certain what to make of it. If she could kill with a thought, he probably needed to be more careful about making Seraphina mad.

“And your inability to stop her pull of power?” Mikel questioned.

“We’re going to work on that. She didn’t even realize it happened.”

“That makes sense,” Mikel replied. “Where is she now?”

“Aneera met us on the way over here,” Darian replied. “I left the two of them together. Aneera said she would bring Seraphina here when they were done.”

“Do you think we need to add a layer of protective runes over her mind?” Raphael asked. “Silana and I have been working on a new one. She suggested modifying the one given to her by Arik to protect her from the Citadel’s power. It would still provide the intended protection but will also act as an enhancer for any ability tied to it. I think it would work brilliantly for Sara.”

“I don’t think so, Raphael,” Darian answered. “At least not yet. I’d like to find out what her limits are first before we start restricting her ability.”

“The mind is a fragile thing, Darian,” Raphael said. “Be careful.”

“I have no desire to lose her now that she’s mine. I just don’t want to restrict that ability if she’s able to control it on her own.” He paused for a moment thinking about the advantage she brought to their group. “She killed over fifty demons with nothing but a thought. Granted, my own strength amplified hers, but that ability alone would save so many lives.
