""I feel the pressure building inside my head, and hear a noise like the winter winds raging through..."

“"I feel the pressure building inside my head, and hear a noise like the winter winds raging through the dark pine trees, and my thoughts and feelings fall forward, tumbling over one another, and my blood, my magic blood, signs in my veins, and I take in a long, quenching breath, and my tongue feels heavy against my teeth and clumsy in my mouth, and my lips part, and there is a thickness in my throat, and I open my jaw, and my heart lifts, and … I … say … "Yes!"”
