Chapter 301

"No!" Verity shrieked as I pumped ore power into the mark hidden on Toya's dark skin. She thought I wouldn't notice the slight discolouration on her shoulder. But I have spent years sparring with her, years being her friend, shifting with her almost daily. I know her body, and I saw the slight difference as soon as Toya moved her hair.

Toya stumbled back and her eyes flashed with confusion. "What the hell?" She turned to look down. "It fucking burns." She snarled as I sent a fresh wave of magic into her shoulder.

"I know, and I'm sorry, but it has to go." I grabbed her and pulled her closer to me. "Do you trust me?"

She stared at me for less than a second. "Of course I do."

I nodded as Verity screamed again. "You can't fucking do this." She stumbled towards us as I shifted my hand into claws behind my back. I pulled back my power from Toya's shoulder, like I was giving up, like her power was too strong to break through. I panted and flashed a look at Toya She gave a tiny nod as I turned away. Verity smiled. "Wait...that's it? The oh so powerful Amy." She straightened her back as she came closer. "Yet you power did nothing to my glyph." She went from scared to boasting quickly. I nearly growled but let her have her moment. Let her boast her power, let her revel in this win. "Honestly, that was pathetic."

Toya snorted. "If it was so pathetic, why were you so worried?" She looked down at her shoulder and lifted her hand to trace the glyph. "I can barely make it out." She snapped her eyes to mine. "How did you notice it?"

I chuckled, a little breathlessly, focusing on my words as I gathered my power into my claws behind my back. "We have sparred more times than I can count these last few years. My face has been pressed up against that shoulder more than a few times." Just a little more power, and then I can strike. I funneled more power into my hand.
