Purpose

“Maiden of Time?” Alexia’s fingers curled in a tight ball. She hadn’t told anyone—not Kiren, not Sarah. “How do you know about that?”

“You went back, did you not?”

Alexia nodded, her head a wide, cottony ball. She realized Mae couldn’t see her motion. “Yes.”

“You saw what I did to the Soulless. Have you met any Passionate more powerful?”

Alexia held her downy-stuffed head still. “No.”

“But I have.” The blind woman reached across the distance. “And she sits before me now.”

“You are mistaken.” Alexia rose and pulled back, stumbling into the wall, knees threatening to fail her. Her muscles felt like jelly.

Mae smiled. She seized Alexia’s hand, her skin pulsing, bursting with life. “You have the power to shape the world.”

Alexia swallowed, her voice small. “And you, the power to destroy it?”

Mae’s smile remained although her head bowed. “Some give life. Some take it.”

What a terrible gift! Alexia’s heart tore in two. “And that is why you occupy scorched earth?”

The woman’s mouth tightened.

“I rescued the child tonight, but I could not save Sarah. I was not strong enough.” Alexia took a deep breath. “If I could have reversed the minutes, only a few, I might have delivered her from this fate. Why did it not manifest then?”

“Our gifts develop as we do, strengthening as our power to wield them increases.”

Alexia blinked. “But if I can go back, we never need lose the medallion.” She jolted toward the door, blackness inking out the room. Fingers held her firmly in place, the back of her knees smacking into a chair. She blinked her vision clear.

The woman’s smile had shrunk. She squeezed Alexia’s hand. “Do you trust me, Alexia?”

“Yes.”

“Then allow me to help you.”
