"I’m not sure what you mean."
"Can magic be harnessed in your world?" Tshel asked simply. "Can it be coded and infused into equipment or materials?"
"I don't know," Naya said. "We haven't tried that. Magic hasn't been explored the way that you have here. Those who aren’t Omegas use a certain language to affect magic, but doing that too often destroys their minds. Only Omegas can use it without harm, and Omegas haven’t had true freedom until recently.”
"So no one has done any experimentation with magic in your land?"
"Not that I know of," Naya said. "Omegas are having children, increasing the population of Omegas and Alphas. But I'm sure eventually once things are stable, many will turn to examining the way magic works. You have found a way to harness it safely without needing Omegas or going mad. I don't know if it will work the same in my Land. I assume you would have tried."
The healer, Oppo, suddenly spoke, words tumbling out of him directed at Tshel.
Tshel nodded at him. "Oppo asked if magic can be healed in your land."
"What do you mean? If magic can be used to heal?"
"No. Yes." Tshel thought for a moment. "If someone was damaged by magic, can you heal that injury?"
"Usually, yes. But it depends on the injury."
Tsol translated for Oppo, who asked another question.
“Is magic used to heal magical injuries or non-magical injuries?”
“Yes.”
"Can you heal bad magic?"
"Bad magic?" Naya frowned. “I don’t know what that means. The qualities of magic that we have aren’t ‘bad’ just different.”
Tshel translated for Oppo.
"Has magic ever been dangerous in your land?" he asked through Tshel.
"Only in the hands of people, mostly Alphas. But it’s not generally dangerous as a force or entity. It can certainly cause damage, but it depends on what is done with it."
Tshel nodded. "That is how it seems."
Oppo continued to ask questions about potions and medicines, until finally, he nodded at Akoro.
The meetings were over. The invasion was about to begin.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Naya paced in her room.
She was missing something. The last meeting… some of the questions seemed trivial or didn’t make sense. But something bothered her, a nagging feeling she was missing something. She had to figure out; it could be the key to get back home.
Akoro had been careful about what he said to her since her heat. He’d been busier lately, so she hadn’t seen him as much, even his sparring sessions lessened. Naya could no longer cloud her mind; the reality of the situation was gaining strength and every hour that now passed put her home in real danger.
When she saw him, their interaction was either having sex or sparring—typical for an Alpha like him. He seemed to think that she would just sit out of the way while he plundered and killed everyone.
She’d use that to her advantage.
Trying to mentally lay down the information, she reeled off on her fingers all the things that had obvious connections.
One, Omegas. Omegas here were separate from the general population, whereas the empire was trying to reintroduce Omegas. Keeping Omegas out of the population didn’t make sense. Why would they? The only thing different about Omegas from other dynamics was… magic.
Naya dug her nails into her palm, the connections coming quicker. The magic here was wild. So maybe the Omegas had something to do with that. Did they use it to attack people? That seemed out of character; however, as history proved, if they were pushed to the brink, they would do just about anything.
