Chapter Thirteen

True to her word, Avaira showed Darin how to construct a portal. It used a darker magic than he had ever dreamed of. Magic that he coveted with all his heart.

They required room to work and privacy, so Darin paid off the cardinal who was in the service of the Hawthorne family, and they used a portion of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was a place of great power. Many ley lines of energy converged in that one spot. It was the reason the Catholics built the church there in the first place. Their worshippers would be loath to know that old world pagan mysticism chose their place of worship.

Once inside the small oval chapel of St. Michael and St. George, Avaira shut and sealed the heavy gold inlaid doors. Thick candles were already lit along the altar and at the four corners, casting a golden glow around the room.

Avaira was wearing long dark robes and a circle of onyx. She looked like a dark and terrible goddess, the candlelight making her even more enchanting, and his cock tightened at the sight of her. If they hadn’t had pressing matters to attend to, he would’ve bent her over the altar and buggered her rotten.

As it was, they were on a tight schedule. The solstice was only five days away, and he needed to ensure that no Davenport returned to London ever again.

Avaira handed him a piece of charcoal. “Draw a circle with a triangle inside on the floor, as large as you can make it.”

Darin glared at her for a moment. He was unaccustomed to being told what to do. Only his father had that kind of power over him.

The elf glared back, unafraid of him. “If you want this to work, you have to be willing to do the things that need to be done. Did I pick the wrong sorcerer to share this powerful magic with?”

He fiddled with the charcoal, his fingers quickly turning black. “No, you chose wisely.”

“Then show me.” She gestured to the black and white marble-tiled floor.

Despite the violent urge to hurt her that ran through his body like wildfire, Darin pushed aside two benches, then dropped to the floor on his hands and knees. He drew the circle carefully, then added the triangle. The second the last point of the triangle met with the circle, a surge of power swept the room. He could feel it brushing against his skin. The little hairs on his arms and on the back of his neck grew to attention. The sensation made him hard.

Avaira took a stick of calcite and inscribed symbols in all three semi-circles made by the intersecting triangle and circle. The moment she was done, a wave of heat rushed through the room. It was like being blasted by a spontaneous fire. He closed his eyes and soaked it up.

“Now we need the life force of a sacred creature to open the veil between worlds.”

She went to her large leather satchel and came away with a white cat, its legs tied together and its jaw bound shut.
