Too close.

That was much, much too close.

If it hadn't been for her magic reacting so violently, then Kaia would've approached the human Princess from last time.

Jazlee can't let it happen.

She won't.

Even if she has to use every last drop of magic she has left.


She's not ready.

The moment Kaia had noticed a young Viking with hair like hers, the absolute dread she felt caused her magic to flare and clashed with the wave Jazlee's fury released.

The resulting storm was unlike anything she's ever witnessed before.

She suspects it's because their magic isn't as controllable anymore. But more than that, Kaia suspects it was a sign she's not ready for whatever she's meant to face.

But she will be.

Even if she has to use every last drop of magic she has left.


"How much longer, Sister?"

"Patience. Stories of tragic love take time."
