For a brief moment that might have been an eternity, she stood at the gate and understood things about magic she’d never realized before, small things. In that bare instant Sham realized the place she was sending the demon didn’t exist, not as she understood the term. Somethingrippled in the night and the demon stilled as the rift grew. She spoke faster, finishing as the demon’s hot, sharp tail raked her side. The first of her spells gave her an awareness of the demon, so she knew when it sprang. Sham knew Elsic had resumed playing only from the feel of the magic flowing into her she couldn’t hear the music over the pounding water.Ĭrying out in a voice that was nothing against the roar that shook Purgatory, she continued working the last spell. Elsic faltered and the magic flared wildly until she couldn’t tell hers from the magic that sang in the waves. Water coated everything, spraying in great heavy sheets. Just as she began the final spell, before the demon realized that it was no longer held by the rune, the great wave struck and the cliffs shook. It took a long moment for her to regain control of the forces she held.
