It feels like going home and having the best hug you can imagine from the person you love the most. Hecate may have taken the hollowness away with whatever power she gave me, but nothing could compare to this. I break down in tears and stumble into Roth’s arms. He holds me tight as my magic flows back into my body, spreading light where there was previously only darkness. All the shadows have been chased away, and I finally feel whole again.
