EPILOGUE

Much like when in the draasin form, Light had jumped onto Tan’s shoulders before they made their way out of the temple. Once back outside, Tan searched the sky for evidence of the dark cloud that had spread there, like some sort of coming storm. But he saw nothing other than a clear sky.

“How did you find me?” Amia asked. She hadn’t released his hand, and Tan was loathe to allow her to, anyway. Now that he’d managed to get her back, he would not have her away from him.

“Roine. After the attack in Par,” he started. “My mother. She was one of the attacked. Roine came to find her. He had seen the binding pattern before.” Tan took her other hand and turned her to face him. “They took you from me.”

“They didn’t want me. They wanted…” She rubbed her stomach.

He touched her stomach, sliding his hand across it, and was rewarded by a kick against his hand. Turning to the temple, he focused on the stone, and the doorway. Pulling on the connection to spirit, he shaped the door closed once more.

It doesn’t matter, does it? Tan asked Light.

The lizard looked up at him and ran a tongue across his face. At least that hadn’t changed. It matters. The binding failed, but it matters.

Tan pulled himself and Amia away from the temple and pulled through the earth bond, smoothing the ground back over the temple. It would remain hidden for now. If he had the need, he could recover it again, but for now… now he would prefer to leave it buried.

“Where is Assan? And Sani?”

Amia looked around and closed her eyes. “I cannot tell where Assan went, if he still lives.”

“Was he a part of this?”

“I… I think spirit protects from whatever that is,” Amia said. “That’s why Marin could use it, and why she couldn’t force me against you like they did with the others. I saw what she did, how she used some of that power to augment her spirit shaping. I don’t think your mother or the others had a chance.”

“I separated it from them,” Tan said.

Amia tipped her head, waiting. When Tan didn’t say anything, she laughed. “Aren’t you going to tell me how you reached me? How you glowed?”

“I don’t really know. I think I found the spirit bond.”

As much as he wanted her to, Light didn’t answer.

Tan had no idea what kind of creature she even was now. Not draasin, but she looked nothing like any other elemental that he had ever seen. She had bluish scaled skin, a blunted nose and a long tongue, but her golden eyes still remained, a remnant of the draasin that she had been.

Did you stop it? Tan asked Light.

For now. The bonds failed. Marin spoke truly. Enough escaped that he has a presence in the world again. He will try once more. If the third bond fails before you are ready…

How can I ever be ready?

Because you are the Shaper of Light.

That’s what he called me, but what does that mean?

You will learn.
