Chapter 12

“Cole?” Theodora’s soothing voice called out to me. “Cole, can you hear me?”

It took all my willpower to force my eyes open, and when I did, I saw Theodora, Penelope’s team, and the rest of my coven staring down at me. Their eyes were filled with panic and concern, but then quickly turned to relief as I smiled weakly at them.

“Hey,” I muttered. “W-What happened?”

“The burning building came crashing down on the king and his men,” Penelope was the first to answer. “Thanks to you, and your kick-ass premonition skills.”

“I remember that,” I grunted as I tried to sit up, and when I looked around, I noticed we were back in the dungeons. The room still stank of piss, shit, and blood, and it made my stomach churn. “But what happened afterwards?”

“We were shadow ported out of there before the entire city could come after us,” Morgana explained in a soft tone. “You passed out right when it happened.”

“How did you manage to spread the fire so fast?” Penelope asked, and her brown eyes glinted with fascination. “I never knew it was possible to control multiple objects and elements at the same time.”

“It usually isn’t,” Morgana pointed out. “Right, Headmistress?”

Theodora was looking down at me with a mixture of concern and amazement written across her beautiful face. I assumed she’d seen the whole thing in her mind, and she was searching for some kind of explanation.

“Cole,” she finally said, “Morgana is correct. What you did was very noble for the magical races, but it could have killed you. You were controlling fire, stone, wind, and water all at once… it’s a Satanic miracle you weren’t killed in the process.”

“Well, we’re still alive and in one piece,” I answered, “and that’s all that matters, isn’t it?”

“Just barely,” Theodora responded as she helped me to my feet. “What you did was bordering on reckless, but there have been ancient witches with your ability to control multiple elements… it’s not as if it’s never been done before.”

“Ah, is that so?” I grinned weakly.

When I was steady on my feet, I reached into my pocket and then curled my fingers around the cold stone before I gently pulled it out. I studied it under the dim candlelight and let it sparkle for a moment before I handed it to the headmistress.

“Here you are,” I said as I placed the precious Defero into her hands. “Do I dare ask why you needed a second stone?”

Theodora smiled as she held the vibrant red stone, but rather than study the precious artifact, she quickly tucked it into her dress pocket and flashed us a small smile.

“All will be revealed in good time, Cole,” she cooed. “Now, if I were you, I’d get some rest or perhaps some food. You’ve had quite an adventure, and it’s dinner time now at Scholomance… time passes more quickly in the other realms, you know.”

I knew she was right, and I should go back to my room and get some sleep, but now that I was back at the academy, I couldn’t rest.
