CAMILLA'S POV

“Five,” she began and I turned to Ryker unsure of what to do.

I switched to our mind link. “What do we do?’

“I don't know,” he admitted at the same time she counted four. “If we let her then everyone's deaths will be on our hands.”

“But we cannot give her the dagger, what assurance do we have that she will not kill them regardless and kill us?” “Three,” she sing songed.

“We need a plan,” Ryker mumbled and a crazy idea popped into my head. “What is it?”

“I need you to trust me and just go with the flow.”

“Camilla-" he began but I cut off the mind link and turned to Reina. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She had a cruel smirk on her face as she watched us. She knew this was a difficult choice and somehow, I knew that was the entire point. I exhaled deeply before reaching out with my senses. I had pulled water from a cliff below, I could pull water from beneath the ground. I could feel it under my feet and I willed it upward. Reina was still counting and just as she hit one, everywhere exploded.

Water shot up like a geyser and it was enough to knock her off guard for a minute. The dolls flew out of her hands and Ryker was quick to grab both of them. Reina was soaking wet and I was breathing hard. Please visit J o b nib. co m and search the book title to read the entire book for free. I didn't realize how much it would take out of me to do that. I willed the water shut long enough for her to get back to her feet. She was spluttering and most of all, she looked pissed off.

“I thought we could do this the easy way,” she began as she made a circular motion with her hands. I saw black smoke follow her movements. “But since you want to play dirty, I will play dirty.”

She threw whatever she had conjured in my direction and if not for Ryker pushing me out of the way, it probably would have hit me. It hit the tree behind me and I saw it smoke before dissolving into ashes. I turned to her with raised brows but she was already making another one.

“Come on, Reina,” I began softly. “Do you really want to do this? Do you want to spend the rest of your life fighting? Even if you beat me, the goddess will send someone else after you. You will never be able to live in peace because you are killing the very people she wants to save you.”
