Aimee nodded in understanding. It was interesting Elann brought up her reimancy, but the comparison was valid enough to not evoke anything but understanding from the Kelvic. “I had stopped, actually,” she said, slightly smiling to show there were no hard feelings. “After my teacher died, I stopped practicing, probably against their wishes but the Djed storm was terrible, it killed a lot of mages. I was lucky to survive, my teacher wasn’t. I was terrified of using it for a long time, but not so much anymore.

“I only used it to protect Noah, then you, then the others because you were protecting Noah and he was protecting you. I understand though, wanting to hone the ability.”

Aimee took a breath, continuing on before Elann was able to answer. “Maybe the darkness isn’t you. You said it was connected to you but the only person personally connected to you is Noah, through his bond. I mean, it’s just an inkling of mine, you can nevermind it. I wanted to bring it up though, just to give you something to think about since it’s already so vague.”
