But he leaned over me , grinned , and inhaled .

Black smoke rose from my chest and curled into a ball of black obsidian that hung between us , like a dark mirror image of the pearl pendant that had channeled my power as a healer .

There was no moon tonight , only darkness outside the windows .

And yet … I suddenly felt the smallest touch of … something … and a voice whispered , Even in the darkest times , I am here .

I grasped that power .

It was all I needed .
