Chapter 9

Albacus fell onto the ground while Mordecai stepped back and pushed his arms out to the side, hands facing Oliana and Damien, legs spread apart, grounded on the earth.

When Oliana spoke, so did Mordecai. He had no spell memorized to counter hers. He hadn’t studied dark magic, which they defined as any kind of magic that dealt in the imbalance of the elements, of anything unnatural. But that wouldn’t stop him from trying to come up with something—anything—that might reverse the momentum of what their sister had created.

He ignored every impulse within him that tried to tell him it was already too late, that he’d realized what his intuition had been trying to communicate all along when he was powerless to intervene. It was all so plain now, everything Oliana had done this day that led up to this moment, to this action. They should have suspected she’d try something like this. The signs that pointed the way toward this outcome had been there all along, since Oliana was a toddler learning to walk even when the governesses said she was too young and tried to discourage it.

Oliana set her eyes on a goal, and she did whatever it took to achieve it. He and Albacus should have known she wouldn’t let Damien die, even if death was something beyond human intervention.

But Oliana had never seen herself as an ordinary human or an ordinary anything. She burned strong and bright, like a star that gave it all she had until the only natural course of energy was to burn out.

She was on a course of self-destruction, and even she was powerless to reverse what she’d set into motion.

The cursed words dripped from her lips and no amount of wishing could stuff them back in.

Breathe my breath into Damien.

Give him renewed life.

Albacus blasted his personal power at the bubble that kept him from his sister while Mordecai set to mumbling words with a chance of countering her spell as fast as he came up with them.

The bubble, nearly crystalline looking now, shook and trembled, but held.

Mordecai said, “Blood of my blood, sister of my heart, I intervene in the spell Oliana, my sister, has cast.”

Albacus funneled his magic into his hands another time, preparing for another blast. Mordecai rummaged his brains for the next words to the spell he was weaving, risks of experimentation be damned.

But Oliana continued with her own terrible, deadly words.

Weave my air into his lungs,

make us not one, but a pair.

It took great effort of will, but Oliana managed to turn her head away from the book. She sought out her brothers with wide, terrified eyes. She felt as if she were fighting physical restraints, but she succeeded in swiveling her body toward her brothers.

But it didn’t matter. Her eyes had already scanned the spell. Her mind pushed the words to the tip of her tongue.

With this breath, I conclude this spell,

the elements of life all present.

“Oliana, no!” Albacus screamed with a power he’d never used before, but it didn’t matter.
