Jayna could feel the energy from the sorcerers surrounding her. She knew this was on purpose; it was their way of making her aware of the profound nature of their power to ensure her cooperation.
Char stood in front of her, separated from the other Society members.
Char stared at her. He had an unreadable expression in his eyes, and though she could feel him through the linking spell, he was holding back, restricting her from accessing anything from his mind.
Why would he do that to her?
âWell?â she asked, watching Char. âAre you going to begin your testing or is this all there is to it?â
âJayna Aguelon,â Char said, his voice impassive, distant, and nothing like the Char she knew.
Though it was fleeting, she knew a moment of doubt. She was confident Char wouldnât do anything to harm her, but that didnât stop her from questioning how far Char might go to fulfill his obligations to the Society.
âYou have been brought before the Society for testing to determine whether there is dark magic within you. As we have discovered a corruption throughout the Society, all must be tested.â
She frowned at Char. âWhat is this about?â Jayna asked through the linking spell, but she found nothing but silence.
There was a buzzing in her pocket, and she realized Topherâs token was calling out to her. She wanted to activate it, wanted to ask Topher for help, but she wasnât sure there was going anything he would be able to do. If nothing else, she wanted to tell Topher what she was doing, where she was, that she might be in danger. Eva, as well.
Then again, if she were to warn Eva, Jayna very much suspected she would come looking for her. Knowing Eva, she would barge in here using her Ashara smoke power and attempt to destroy everything to free Jayna.
It was better for her to ignore their attempt at communication right now.
âThe testing is painless unless you carry dark magic. If you are corrupted, the touch of this spell will be incredibly painful, tearing a part of you away.â
There it is. The threat of burning away my magic.
That had been her fear while operating outside of the Society. She didnât know how often sorcerers had power burned off of them, as the threat was enough to keep most compliant. It was part of the reason sheâd hidden when sheâd gone to Nelar the first time. And it was the reason she kept herself open to her Toral power. She found it flooding through her now, filling her in a way it had not since she had confronted Melinda. She felt the power rising within her, consuming her, and recognized an aspect of it not yet fully realized. There was more potential to the magic than what she had touched before.
âIf you try to burn magic off of me, Char,â Jayna whispered, her voice low, âyou know what I will do.â
âYou will be tested according to ancient traditions,â he said, ignoring her warning, âand according to new ones.
