Kya felt her heart racing as she faced down the terrifying man, yet she kept her expression of anger and annoyance fixed clearly on her face. Of all the stories Karria had told her of her brother, this was not the man she’d pictured. Sure, he was even more handsome in person than she’d imagined, but Kya had pictured their first meeting as going slightly different.

In her mind, he’d be reunited with his sister, then immediately turn to thank her. He’d comment on her beauty, ask her to be his bride, and sweep her off her feet.

Fantasies were often fickle, and their first meeting found the two of them trapped in some alternate dimension, with him immediately trying to kill her. The visceral hatred he felt for her kind was so palpable that she could practically see it. The shock of him shrugging off her mind-control, as well as detecting her magic, had mostly worn off, but her complete inability to hear so much as a single thought was truly off-putting.

Whenever she focused on him, all she got was a blank static, as though his mind were there, but she simply did not have access to it. This was a novel experience, as no one had ever been able to resist her power. Not even Karria, who was the strongest Mage she’d ever met.

Then again, she’d never gotten much from Silver either, though his mind had spat out the occasional thought. She’d never understood any of it, but at least she’d been able to hear. The feelings weren’t going away, though, and although Arbor was at least willing to listen, she could still feel his hatred, the burning anger he held toward her and her entire race.

“Now, I’m going to talk, and you’re going to listen,” she said, fighting down the urge to vomit.

He was exuding an immense amount of power and she knew that if he decided to kill her, there was literally nothing she could do about it. She’d thought about keeping the worm around once she’d gotten control over its mind. But, like Arbor, she had figured that he could kill her far faster than she could sick the worm on him or even use it as a bargaining chip. The only way she was going to get out of this alive was by being tough and demanding respect.

“And by listen, I mean listen,” she continued. “Not hear what I have to say, then attack me right after!”

Arbor’s fist tightened momentarily on his weapon, and Kya feared that she may have pushed him too far.

“Fine,” he ground out after a few seconds. “Now talk.”

Kya took a deep breath, then launched into an introduction. She told him exactly who she was and how she’d met his sister. She talked quickly, not giving a whole bunch of detail but trying her best to convey sincerity and truthfulness in every word. She talked about how Karria had saved her life on multiple occasions, how she’d stood up for her when
