That she allowed herself to lean against him so meant she was still weak. He couldn't let her go through the rest of the maze alone, not without knowing what the Ancients were doing. The suspicions in the back of his mind, a chorus of gale howls, wouldn't go away.
"You're not strong enough yet," he said, and tensed, waiting for her to fight.
Instead she said, "You have a beating heart."
He looked down. She stared at his crystal.
"That," he said, "is just an illusion."
"You're just a human, aren't you? A human with lots of magic."
The longing in her voice made him ache. "No, I'm not."

I know I'm coming to this late in the game, but this is really intriguing. But of course you're an excellent writer. I'm interested to see how this all turns out.

Yes welcome!
