I squeezed his hand, feeling the tingling of fire deep within my soul. “It is your world now too, Marius. Do not fear it. Make it fear you.”
Marius leaned down into my ear, his lip brushing gently across my skin as he whispered, “With you I will never fear anything. Not again.”
His words sparked the kindling of fire into a blaze that poured from my skin. Magic. Dark, burning flames curled against my free hand as we witnessed the pregnant moon crown over the town far below. My magic had not left me with death, not as I had expected. It was just as easy to call upon it now, as it had been during… life.
“If Mother could see me now… she would not be happy,” I said, raising the curling flames before Marius.
“Then let her roll in her grave and seethe with disgust. She cannot do anything about it now.” Marius smiled, flinching slightly from my power.
“I will prove that my power, although the cause of the curse that darkened your life, will light your way forward. I vow it.”
“Then let us destroy, raze and devour, my Jak,” Marius announced, speaking to the night as his own power shuddered the shadows around us. It passed over the moon, blocking out the minimal pearlescent light that kissed down upon us. “Then let us take it and claim the night as our own.”
I grinned, forcing my stare from Marius, my handsome Marius, back to Darkmourn. “Let us take it… together.”
