Kade was forced to try a new use of his empowering magic. Maxine voiced concerns on how to proceed with the fort’s core. I experienced a new level of physicality that I have never felt.

I decided upon a course of distraction that set me, yet again, apart from my team. Maxine questioned the wisdom of my feelings on approaching Cevna.
