I have the sneaking suspicion that he was adopted and returned because of the Bog of Eternal Stench that lives in his ass and not the mellow way he has about him. Gagging, I quickly roll down my window to combat the reek. So much for pretty curls today. I’d rather sport a lion’s mane at this point than breathe through the noxious fumes my familiar likes to bestow upon me. My eyes start to water, and I fan the air in front of my face to help dilute the smell.

His eyes are alight with ferocious determination. He doesn’t look angry, more like an apex predator about to down the prey in its sights.

I’m all at once consumed by power as I do to him exactly what he did to me. I bind his essence, his magic, to mine, making us both a conduit for each other’s abilities.

If you take from me, I’ll take right back. I’ve always been an eye for an eye kind of girl.
