Summon your own ka and ignite it. Maintaining concentration on your ka will allow you to manipulate the flame to your will. Experimentation is key to not blowing yourself up.

Chain Level 3 Advancements:

Fireproof. Flames, yours or others, cannot harm you.

Well, wasn’t that fucking convenient. Along with moonlighting as a doctor, Maeve was going to invest her time in becoming a firefighter, too.

Pain speared through her chest and she winced, cutting off the ka that supported her menu. From the corner of her eyes, she caught Dante grimacing, his coffee cup hovering next to his clenched teeth. She wondered if he felt the same pain she did.

Good. Let him feel it. Fuck him.

Her father approached the bed and set the clothes down next to the tray of food.

“I figured you’ll need somethin’ if you’re headin’ back down there,” he said, grabbing a slice of bacon to munch on.

Senshia was right. He’d given it up.

Maeve wanted to say something heartfelt, something meaningful to her father, but with two extra pairs of ears in the room it was a little weird to get sappy. “Thanks for the stuff.”

He grunted in reply and sat in one of the chairs.

Ah…he was mad at her.

“Dad, I’m gonna be fine,” she said, her Tennessee accent slipping a little.

He eyed her over his bacon, face stern. “I doubt that.”

“I’ve already got a new spell adjustment. I’m fireproof! I can’t blow myself up now.” She grinned wide, but he didn’t smile.

She softened her voice. “I’m going to keep getting stronger, and you won’t have to worry.”

He grunted again, stuffing another slice of bacon in his mouth.

“I’ve got this,” she said earnestly.

He sighed. “I wish you weren’t so damn stubborn.”

Dante chuckled through his nose and Maeve glared at him for a flicker. He sipped his coffee and looked away with a smirk.

Maeve got off the bed and knelt next to her father. “Then I wouldn’t be me,” she said, letting some sincerity through despite the audience.

Grunts were becoming his primary mode of communication, and he let another one fly, this one sounding defeated.

“Dante and his friends could’ve carted me off to the High Court a dozen times while Corvin was away, and they didn’t, so I’m not at risk of that. I’m not going to be having any more blackouts—”

“Blackouts?” He scowled, leaning forward.

Maeve sucked a breath through her teeth. Senshia had really kept her promise.

“Yeah, so…Corvin was giving me blackouts. His ka, in me…the Zalnur,” she said, her words broken up by the threat of tears.

She was going to fix this, fix him. She was going to figure out how to cure this stupid disease and then everything would be fine. Right after she solved this case for Dante.

Her father’s face went red, and he looked up at the other men in the room. “Did you know?”

“I did not, master,” Bentley said, his head bowed.

Dante set his coffee aside. “I knew something was wrong, but she wouldn’t tell me what.”

“Thank you for tryin’. My daughter’s a pighead sometimes.”

Maeve sniffled back the tears that hadn’t fallen and crossed her arms.
