Life In Return

“She will give you two lives,” Chadstone said. “She knows what she must do.” He wasn’t looking at her, but his voice pulled at her.

A thousand years of ancient eyes turned their gazes on her, and she felt her heartbeat begin to stutter. What would they do to her if she didn’t give them a life?

Chadstone’s voice was smooth, almost hypnotic, and Dakshana felt her eyes slip closed.

“You have given her magic, and she must give you a life in return. And she will give it. Won’t she?”

Dakshana felt a single tear slip down her face.
