A groan escaped me.
Delicate hands slipped over mine. I didn’t have to open my eyes to know that it wasn’t Mareina’s.Thalia’s magic brushed against mine, gentle and inquisitive.
Caring.
The polar opposite of Mareina’s magic.
“Hey… How’re you feeling?”
Hushed murmurs erupted around us, and half a dozen others’ magic pressed against mine. Myolana kah’hei.
Forcing my eyes open felt like ripping open parcels sealed shut.
It took several bleary moments for my vision to settle.
Thalia stared down at me with wide eyes, her brow furrowed with concern.
Pomona shoved past her, gripping my hand in hers. Her face was sheet white, wrought with worry. Her bright hair had a messy red halo around her head as if she’d relentlessly been running her fingers through the strands.

Sharp, black bone plating protruded shallowly from the outermost edges of my brows and cheeks. My eyes dipped to the back of my hand, holding the mirror to see the same plating peppered my knuckles and forearms and…
Oh fuck.
I dropped the mirror to examine both of them.
Claws.
I had fucking claws.
Gods…I looked like some hells-spawn demon from mythology… Exactly as I had seen in my premonitions… There was only one thing missing…
