A shiver runs through me as I step through the emerald gate, still completely stunned by the fact that it appeared in our home. Iâm taking it as a sign that the Realm of Shadows trusts us to be what it needs. Or is it the Realm of Eternity? Iâm still all tangled up on the prophecy; the intricacies of it leave me confused.
The dim light from Creedâs room is quickly replaced with the marbled effect of grays, from almost white to coal black. My hand remains engulfed in Braxâs as his childhood home comes into view. However, the clear path that we usually have to the wraparound porch is obscured by silhouettes and shadows.
Gulping, I feel the energy shift around us. âWhatâs going on?â I ask Brax, not pulling my eyes from the obstruction.
âAsk them,â he mutters, instantly reminding me of Erikelâs bullshit comment about me not being able to speak with the shadows even though Iâm a necromancer.
âI donât know how,â I remind him, my body tingling with anticipation from the vulnerability I know they will likely sense.
Braxâs thumb caresses my knuckles again. âYou just have to take your time, Raven. Feel it inside.â
I recall the fact that he has been able to do this. I donât know how, but it worked. He managed to get the shadows to bring me here in my sleep. I want to give him some smart remark about thinking heâs a pro now, but compared to me, he just might be, so I keep my mouth shut instead.
As much as I need Braxâs comfort and touch right now to keep me grounded, I need to focus on my magic and the shadows before me, so I release his hand and take a step toward them. I instantly want to lace my hands together, twiddle my thumbs, and sink my teeth into my lip. The need to fidget is overwhelming as fuck. But that only reveals more weaknesses I donât want to expose. Apparently, being out of Shadowmoor for this long has softened me inside. A fact that Iâm more than happy with, but for now, itâs the old me thatâs needed when it comes to this war. The version of me that didnât lower her walls for anyone. That swung her fists first and asked questions later. Thatâs what I need, no matter who it is Iâm communicating with.
Rolling my shoulders back, I relax my hands at my sides and tilt my chin up, oozing the effortless confidence I used to own, even though it doesnât quite sit with me the same as it once did.
âI want to understand the prophecy, the intricacies of the situation, and I feel the pain that runs deeply throughout this realm. I want to help you as much as I want to bring my family home.â The words pour from my mouth without thought, and I find each and every one of them to be true.
I mean it.
I do want to help.
That pain I felt from the binder resonates inside of me.
