Chapter 352

• For days after the spell I could still feel an increase in my magical power, it was like a surge of electricity and I could feel it all around me. I could sense the magic in the earth and it crackled underneath my skin like a current. It was an odd feeling to get used to, but it felt so natural, like it was a part of my very essence, that I started craving the feeling.
• The moon was high in the night sky when my eyes snapped open. I had the strangest sensation that somebody was in the house, somebody uninvited. I got out of bed slowly and walked down the stairs.
• A strange scent tickled my senses but I couldn’t hear anything, not even a heartbeat and I couldn’t see anyone either. I moved through the dark house trying to ascertain where the strange feeling was coming from.
