***DOMINIC'S POV***
Addie was getting to be stronger than I thought that she would be. She was creating spells that were more powerful than they needed to be, even when she was holding back. Her spells were stronger than anything that I could ever hope to produce, and I was considered quite the mage within the noble's district. No, it wasn't that I was weak, it was simply because Addie was that powerful.
I didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to stay with me if she kept getting stronger. It was already obvious to me that the nation would want to use her for their own agendas.
I was just hoping that by the time that Addie was taken from me, I was able to cement our 'family' bond and make it so that I could protect her wherever she went. If she was taken by those that ran the city, and therefore our nation, I would need to fight to stay by her side, and I would.
