Chapter 48

Finnegan couldn’t believe it. Nora had jumped into the circle. Her presence disturbed the energy flowing around them. He felt it dissipating. The robe floated to the ground. The spell Finnegan had been casting, one that would have guaranteed him the robe, slipped away. “Damn it Nora!” he cried. “What are you doing here?”

Nora snatched the robe and stepped out of the circle. “You’re possessing him, aren’t you?”

Nora and the robe were not a good combination. Behind her were Constantine and two young men. Finnegan recognized them as Kip and Rowan.

Dante wiped the drool from his mouth. He was returning to his senses. The moment had passed. “You dare to possess me?”

“I have the right. I am the Master Enchanter of Firesea.” Finnegan stated. “Nora told me to do this.”

“Yes I did, and thank you for obeying.” Nora slipped the robe on. “And now I’m taking over.”

Dante stumbled out of the circle and collapsed on his throne. “You’re just a pretender Nora. I broke the spell when I gave you our son.”

“You broke my need for the robe, but you didn’t change the fact that I can use the energy in Firesea.”

Finnegan was convinced that she was seriously mad. “Nora, you know I’m the heir.” He stepped out of the circle and tried to grab the robe. “Give it to me.”

Kip suddenly came forward. He was loaded with more weapons than Finnegan had ever seen. He pulled a short dagger off of his belt and pointed it at him. “Touch her and you die.”

Finnegan automatically put his hands up. “Kip, I’ve known you since you were a kid.”

“I’m not a kid anymore. I’m a killing machine.”

Rowan put a hand on Kip’s arm. “Take it easy.”

Nora looked at the assortment of sickly protectors. “If you tie up Gavrashelli I’ll make sure you’re all healed of the sickness.”

They shuffled forward and bound Dante.

“This will never work Nora.” Dante said defiantly.

“Give me the robe Nora.” Finnegan said. “Playtime is over.”

“I’m not playing at anything. I came here for a purpose and I intend to fulfill it. I’ll give you the robe when I’m ready.” She looked at Kip. “Make sure he doesn’t try anything.”

Kip held up the dagger. “No problem. I’m dying to kill someone.” He giggled at his own joke.

Nora looked at the nearest protector, he was pale and sweaty. She turned to her son. “Are you ready Rowan?”

“Yes.”

Finnegan noticed that Rowan moved like Killian. He and Nora helped the protector sit on the floor. Rowan put his hands on the man. Rowan’s fingers glowed warmly, the protector squirmed.

“It will be over soon.” Nora said quietly.

A few seconds later Rowan took his hands away. The protector’s eyes were wide. “What did you do to me?”

“I healed you, body and mind.” Rowan said.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Rowan said. “I’m glad I can help someone.”

“He’s just like his father.” Dante mumbled.

“Be quiet.” Nora ordered.

Constantine looked at his father. “I want to thank you for giving me my mother back, after two decades.”

“You two deserve each other.
