Giving Gifts

This twist was beyond his control. Chadstone stared at the backs of the Ancients as they fled - as much as their old bones could flee from a mortal girl who’d flung rune fire at them. Firelight the shadows could withstand. Actual light - sunlight - was death to a shadow.

That Dakshana could wield rune magic made her far more dangerous an opponent than a Seer, and Chadstone knew that something was off. He’d met her as a child, and the power to See came later in life. Rune magic was inherent, unless it was gifted, and shadows did not give gifts.
