Chapitre 117: Acceptance (1/1)

As night fell over them, the adepts set Rowan's patio aglow with their magic. Spirit lights in different colors hung overhead like decorative lamps suspended in the air, the colors merging and creating the perfect hue for staving off the descending darkness.

Nicasi, of course, always saw everything Lysander did, and he gave Rowan a smile behind his back at the gesture of inclusion.
