I hold both scepters in my hand, gritting my teeth against the intense power that is currently running through my body. It was overwhelming even for my body, but I knew this had to be done.

Using one scepter is overwhelming enough, but using two? That was pushing it too far. I didn't care though. I didn't care about anything other than bringing Kaden back. He is the one who matters. He's all that matters.

My hand shake as I continue using the scepters. They were polar opposites. One is white, while the other is red. Two contrasting colors, but both full to the brim with power.

You see, where I am from, scepters aren't just used as a symbol of authority, but power. I come from a powerful lineage. Scepters are used to channel that power. To direct it. Reserve it. They carry part of the essence of whoever the owner is.

I did have my own scepter, but these two? These two were everything, given that they belonged to two people who were more powerful than I was. And that is what I needed. More power.

A shrill voice screams, pulling me back from my thoughts. I stare at the woman that was folded in a fatal position on the floor before me. All this power was directed into her tiny body. It must hurt.

My hands felt like they were burning. My inside felt like it would turn to liquid. My whole body felt like it was being shocked by bolts of electricity. If I felt like that, just holding the scepter, I can only imagine what she feels, all that power being pushed into her.

It didn't matter and I didn't care. This had to be done. In the grand scheme of things, she didn't matter. She was insignificant in all this. She was a tool to getting what I wanted. Just like all of them.

She stops thrashing and her new scent hits my nose. Finally, it was done. Her eyes were closed, and they would stay that way for the next two or three days, as her body tried to realign itself to accommodate her new form.
