Chapter Fourteen

Reborn in Magic

The town lore for the beginning of Point Epoch always stems back to my using black magic for the first time. Some say that it was I who introduced it to that dimension, and it was I who created the gates that allowed for all of them to enter through in the first place. That wasn’t the case, but even if it had been me, you’d think they’d say “thank you” for providing them with a safe place to stay. No, all they’ve ever done is slander my name because they buy into the idea that I’m evil.

Others in Point Epoch have a more realistic version of the origins of magic. They know that I didn’t bring magic into the world. How can anyone do such a thing when it exists in nature on its own?

They were placed in a triangle around a lit candle. Seeing everything laid out in such a way caused me to doubt for a few seconds. Only a few. Then the excitement returned.

“The process is simple,” Damion said. “You will enter into a contract. This agreement will be verbal, but please keep in mind...your words are powerful. Do not think they can so easily be spun to get you out of this situation. There is still time to walk away if that is what you’d prefer. We have other ways you can help us.” He waited a few moments before continuing. “What we say has more weight than you probably realize, and it is the basis on which most magic is founded. Entering into our inner circle will rip apart the barriers keeping you from touching that power. Some of you will gain abilities pertaining to specific areas, and others might have a broad scope of new skills. We won’t know how it chooses to manifest within you until after the ceremony.”

Belinda spoke next. “The contract is simple. In exchange for this power, you will do whatever is required of you by our lord Hades who is bestowing you with this gift. He will not ask much of you. Nothing will be unreasonable. If it is deemed to
