Standing in the rubble, Kai took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
A powerful gust of wind rose from that one breath, sending a cloud of dust billowing into the air.
When he looked up, the usual soft placidity of his welcoming green eyes was replaced by a cold, sharp gleam.
The night suddenly seemed darker, the winds singing a haunting song as they blew across the ruins.
"Are you ready?"
He looked at Morgan of Valor and nodded curtly.
A pale smile appeared on her scarlet lips.
"No time to waste, then."
Kai looked away. His gaze pierced the piles of stone rubble, the vast expanse of the empty lake, and the palisade of scorched trees standing on its distant shore. No obstacle could obscure his sight, and no distance was too great…
Well, in theory.
