“It has been done.”

He hums, the gemstone flickering with the power he pours into it.

She sucks in a sharp breath. The suddenly awakened power coursing inside of her like something tangible living under her skin.

She extends her free hand forward, palm up as she remembers the exercises she would repeat and repeat and repeat and never do right. Her eyes are closed when she focuses on the flow of magic in her hand. And it is thunder rushing forth and a fire reaching the very tips of her fingers and for once, for once it is something more than a dying spark.

She opens her eyes.

The power evoked raw forms a long smooth flame over her palm. Engulfed in emerald glow.

And she looks at it as if enchanted. Entranced. Surprised.

“Gods. I’ve done it.”
