The earth rumbled around us, a soft but potent sound that washed over my senses as the soil accepted us into its cool embrace. Waves of Cian’s power rushed across my skin, my own magic echoing its pulse. It was the first time in years that I allowed the light and darkness to work in unison, that I actually encouraged their merging until I possessed the full strength of both worlds I belonged to. My bond with nature and all that was linked to it sprung to life through the blood of my Koldun father, the demon side giving me the tools to shape it, to wield it like a lethal blade and give it the strength it lacked on its own.

I might not be able to control all that is of the earth in the same capacity as my father could, but with both powers running through me, I wasn’t limited only to my empathy or spellcasting, either.

For the first time, I saw that hint of greatness my mother had spoken about. And it terrified me.

Those were depths I had no desire to reach, even if the merging of powers felt so damned good.

Shielding myself from the gloom and slight contradiction of my thoughts, I focused on moving the earth. Cian carried the bulk of the weight, but I noticed his appreciative gaze falling on me when he thought I wasn’t watching.

Which only confused me further.

I had fully believed that this, this display of demonic strength, would be the final nail in the coffin. That final unwanted quality that would snuff out whatever inexplicable attraction the Fae felt for me. And yet here he was, purple eyes filled with silent admiration for what I was doing.

Or perhaps it was because he knew I was doing it for him.

A bead of sweat rolled down my temple as more and more soil shifted and stirred, carrying us on its undulating currents. Amusement fluttered through me. Cian might have thought neither of us would break a sweat. But right now, I wasn’t the only one sporting a moist sheen on my forehead. And I knew the perspiration would only get worse.

Although the sky above us was now long gone, replaced by the compact earth, we still pushed further, guided by the solid presence of the ward. We worked in silence, communicating without words as we divided our tasks. Despite the strength exhibiting such magic took, the process was almost…pleasant. And I had to admit that using a skill I had neglected for years intrigued me. Or maybe it was just the fact that for once, my powers didn’t lead to being sucked into memories of a time long passed. Who knew, maybe I could switch from antiques to supernatural gardening somewhere down the road.

Cian and I stopped as we neared the barrier, our combined magic creating a chamber wide enough to give us ample room to move. Once the soil was packed where we wished it, I dispelled the tendrils of energy flowing from my core and swung the black bag off my shoulders.
