Chapter Sixteen

Aquene’s faith in Molly had not been displaced. She was everything her visions had promised and more. But those visions had not shown her how beautiful Molly was, both in body and spirit, and how her simple touch could make Aquene’s heart race.

She should not be shocked, for her lessons had taught her that all was revealed in its own way and in its own time. She had learned of the coming of their savior, and here she was. Her lessons had also taught her that, though much was revealed to her, not everything was to be shown. She had to discover some things without aid. That was the very thing happening as they sat beneath the shelter listening to the sounds of the storm-filled night, and the lesson was all the sweeter for it.

Molly’s words had trailed off, and warmth had swirled around them as though they were sitting out in a summer night rather than in a harsh storm. She had felt Molly’s magic in her soul, and the peace that came with it was unlike anything Aquene had experienced before. This the visions definitely had not showed her. The surprise was exciting, the discovery thrilling.

Even more amazing was her absolute belief in Molly’s prayer. It would protect them. She could feel it, and it filled her with peace. The touch of Molly’s hand against hers made it even more so. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the rock. It was hard, though not uncomfortable. She had slept on far worse and without the comfort of the hand she still held. The night could go on forever, if it felt like this. Yes, she was certain this was exactly how Alumpum felt about her warrior. No wonder she was always trying to find a life mate for Aquene.

“We will be safe here,” she said.

Molly squeezed her hand gently. “I feel it too. Hannah’s magic is much like that of my heritage. I read it in her words and felt its power as I used it just now. She might not have written it for you and me, but darned if it didn’t work for us just the same. It would have been nice to meet her. I have a feeling I would have liked her.”

“She was a good woman. She was my friend.” It was true. She missed Hannah.

“I’m glad the spell worked.”

Aquene knew that it did. “He will not touch us this night.”

“I agree. We’re in good shape for a while. Aquene? Who is this man you keep talking about? Is it the same one Hannah writes of in her grimoire? Who is he?”

Aquene had to pause and consider Molly’s question. While she did not know his face, she had felt his presence for some time. The blackness that surrounded her each time she thought of him scared her. Whether it was same man who had come for Hannah was unknown to her.

“I do not know the answer to your question. It is possible, but I am not certain if it is likely.
