I woke tip to the soft glow of morning light filtering through my curtains, the warmth of the previous night lingering on my skin, My body ached-not from battle, but from the intensity of what had transpired between me and the twins.

A chill ran through me. "A cost?"

Eira's expression turned serious. "If you push too hard, you could drain yourself completely. It's a dangerous technique. One that can save lives-but also one that can kill you if you're reckless."

A heavy silence fell over the group.
