Bab 194: Mistress

LANCE

I look at my shoes. At the black soil crunching under my feet. The blackness...I reach out. Stretch my senses...

Nothing. I sense nothing.

I grunt in frustration and look at her. "Seven, I gave up. I don't know what you want me to see. There's nothing in here." I said.

She gave me one lingering look and sigh. "You lost it I see. It's okay. Magnus can help you in your problem. We just need to bring him back to normal."

With that, she turn around. Not giving me another look. I followed her. My feet falling back. I look down at my hands.

What does she mean? Lost? Lost what? My power? Death is still here. My shadows are still with me. I haven't lost anything...

Or was she referring to something else?

I watch her lean closer to Magnus. He whip to meet her face. Her hands find it's way on his shoulders.

"What?"

"Your strides are too shallow." She answered.
