Chapter 61

• I walked down to the courtyard in the middle of the night to perform the separation ceremony. I stood next to Tony as a witch approached us.
• "Are you ready?" The witch asked kindly. I held out my hand as she dragged the blade across my palm. I winced as she drew an ancient mystical symbol onto a tree in the courtyard.
• "Tony," I gasped collapsing into his arms as pain hit me like a truck taking my breath from my body. I looked at the witch as the tree started to glow. I felt the light rush through my body ripping me from Tony's arms leaving me hovering above him. It was instinct that led me to caress the magic pressing into my body. The magic wasn't just magic it was joy and light no hint of darkness mixed within.
