The fearsaidh was the ugliest storm kelpie she’d seen to date. His scales looked grey and brittle as if they’d fall off any second. Half of his teeth were missing and the others were yellowed with age. His eyes were milky white and Macey assumed that he was blind.
Welcome, daughter of the lake. Welcome, men of the wind, fire and earth.
“Pleased to meet you,” Macey replied, proud of her diplomatic training. She didn’t think her expression gave away the slight disgust she felt for the old man’s appearance. “Muahwa says you can help me with my magic? My father locked it but I have need of it now.” She skipped the small talk this time. She’d had enough of that. All she wanted was her powers back so that they could leave this strange place and people. She loved being underwater, but she preferred to actually be in the water. This weird in-between state was giving her the creeps.
Your father had good reason to lock them. For some reason, you are stronger on earth than you are on the water. You could have unknowingly destroyed yourself and others, had you tried to use it. But now things have changed. You are no longer alone. You are part of the Seven, and with each Warden you bind to, your powers will become more controlled. Stronger, too.
“Wait a second. I need to bind to the other Wardens to get my powers back? What does that mean?”
You should know. You’re already bound to one.
Waves. The strange tattoo. Did she unknowingly bind herself to Jared? To an incubus?
Fuck.
