“I feel…” I stopped, trying to gauge if I felt any different. “I do feel better. I feel…fuller? When I touched it earlier, there was an immediate vision.”
“Do you want to try it again?” Sage closed his arm around my lower back.
“Not particularly, no.”
“Why don’t you try to channel a different power. Maybe if you are focusing on something else, you’ll be able to work on a different house power. We need to send a message to Yunez. Too much time has passed and we don’t have a clue how to move the statue.” Rand looked toward the ceiling. “There are crows on the roof. Think of them, imagine you’re sitting next to them, and want them to carry a message for us. Then touch the stone.”
“You know there’s crows on the roof?” I glanced up. There was no way we would be able to see or hear anything up there.
“I can feel them with my Caen powers.” Rand closed his eyes. “There are three. One female and two males. Go ahead, touch the stone and think about what’s up there. About connecting with them.”
I took a deep breath. “I’m doing this for you.” Raising my hand, I closed my eyes right as my skin made contact. The warm stone felt good, the power sending vibrations up my arm.
Birds on the roof.
No, crows.
Three crows on the roof.
Suddenly, I regretted never picking Egan’s brain a little more on how his powers worked. Or Yunez and Rand, since they had many of the same abilities.
Nothing happened.
No visions, no sudden souls appearing in my mind’s eye, nothing.
“Nothing is happening.” I sighed in frustration.
“Give it time.” Rand pressed his front against my side and massaged my hip. “Think about when you’re trying to find your mates. That thread that appears. But instead of tracking someone who is connected to you, think about opening your mind up broader than that. You exist, and the world exists around you. What do you see?”
I tried, I really, really tried, and all I saw was darkness.
“Nothing.”
“Not physical things. What do you see with your power.”
Blowing out a breath, I tried again.
Think broad, things that were there but not physically.
Something started to form in my mind, but it wasn’t anything I saw like when I tracked my mates. It was more like an awareness that couldn’t get a solid grasp on.
I sensed Rand, then Jari and Sage. Cabbie was in the far corner with the Cherries watching with fascination.
“I can feel everyone in the room,” I murmured, eyes still squeezed tight.
“Good. That’s good.” Rand caressed my side. “Now, what do you feel up above? Try to move yourself to the sky.” He nuzzled the side of my face and my pussy clenched.
Shit, he just lost a parent. I shouldn’t be getting turned on right now.
Focus, Iss.
I tried to float higher, and it worked. “It worked!”
“Very good. Now, what do you feel on the roof?”
I wasn’t sure if I was on the roof, but there were other beings here. Three to be exact.
The more I familiarized myself with the feeling, the more I could make them out. Little smoky wisps of birds formed, and all three looked toward me as if they knew I was searching for them.
