Chapter 18

“When you said you felt a jolt, was it like this?” Laura handed Devon the book that she had been pouring over when he had called her. They were sitting in the common room, and everyone around them was swirling with the news of Desmond and Mariah. Laura was trying to get him to ignore the buzz and focus. She knew that he was worried about Sienna, but at the moment, he wasn't getting anywhere close to her. She pointed to a circle drawn in the book, and indicated the description.

Devon's head ducked down, skimming it.

When the wall between life and death is breached, it is felt by Nature, which is theorized to collapse around the spell. This collapse is believed to open a door between the living and the dead. A ripple effect could possibly be seen as Nature recovers from the spell. How far the ripple travels could depend on how powerful the spell is. Those brought back when the ripple happens are thought to be short-term returns.

“Wow,” Devon looked up at her. “I didn't think it was even possible.”

“As you can see,” Laura replied. “Even the book isn't sure. But does that sound like what you felt?”

“Yeah,” Devon answered, biting his lip. “It certainty felt like a jolt; it could totally have been a collapse. And then if there is a ripple effect, that would make sense about the other bird.”

“I can believe that,” Laura said. “The bird was only a few feet away, right?”

“Yes,” Devon answered. “And you have to believe me, Laura. I do healing magic, too. There's no way she could have simply just healed it.”

“I believe you,” Laura answered, skimming down the book. “Look, here,” she pointed to another section, her eyes wide.

It's thought that only witches who walk the line between life and death – who know that door well – can perform this type of magic. Their magic exists in both the world of the living and the world of the dead as it returns to Nature.

“Holy…” Devon said. “That sounds like her, doesn't it?”

“It does,” Laura answered. “Although, who would have thought that would work in her favor?”

Devon leaned back in disbelief. “I wonder if I can do that.”

Laura gave him a painful smile. “I don't think so,” she said. “You don't know that line, Devon. At least, not yet. And I pray that you never walk that line; that it is swift and painless, not long and drawn out.”

Devon blinked, grateful for his caring Maestro. “So, if she can bring people back from the dead, are they immortal? Do they live until they die again? Does it say?”

“All of this is theory, Devon,” Laura replied. “There's a case of a witch about two-hundred years ago who brought back her Maestro from a knife attack, and a nurse who had died in the attack walked out of the morgue that day.”

Devon shivered at that thought. He had seen dead bodies, and it seemed to be the one thing that stunned him into silence.
