A Crown Of Wings And Wrath – Brenda Trim

Scars crisscrossed her body. Her decades of combat were etched into every line. Her wings showed healed tears and missing feathers. It was all a testament to battles that would have killed lesser sovereigns. She was older, more battle-worn than most academy griffins, and absolutely magnificent. When Tempest’s gaze locked with Obsidian’s, something passed between them.

It was recognition, challenge, and acceptance all tangled together in a language only they understood. “Let’s start simple,” Kael said, drawing my attention back to him. “I’m going to summon umbral flames and keep them small and contained. I’m going to channel what you add to my bond with Tempest. But do it gradually until I tell you to stop.” He didn’t wait for acknowledgment.

Black fire erupted in his palm. It remained a controlled ball the size of a golf ball. My amplification flowed into him carefully, gradually enhancing the connection between Kael and Tempest. The umbral flames began spreading from his palm up his arm while remaining contained. “More,” he commanded. I pushed harder and gasped when the flames consumed his entire upper body.

“Is it too much?” He shook his head. “It’s good. Keep going.” It was difficult to know how much power to channel into him, but I kept at it. Shadow-fire danced across skin without burning. The power radiating from him made the air shimmer. Then, the umbral flames exploded outward in a column that punched through gathering storm clouds. The sheer scope of what we’d created together stole my breath.

“Feel how I shape and wield my flames,” he instructed. “You can adapt it when dealing with your abilities.” Nodding, I paid closer attention to the finer details. There was a hint of corruption along his nexus bond, and my magic automatically cleared that. Kael’s eyes went wide. “Whoa. Now I see what Zara meant. This is… wow.” Tempest flared her wings, threw her head back, and trilled. I took that as a good sign and laughed.

Kael gave his griffin a mischievous look and began weaving them into barriers, weapons, and constructs that defied everything I thought possible. When he finally let the flames dissipate, we were both breathing hard. Sweat plastered my shirt to my back despite the cold.

The sharp, honest agony of broken bones would have been merciful compared to what burned through me.

This agony had settled into my marrow as if my blood had turned to acid. Every breath scraped against ribs that felt bruised from the inside out. “Easy.” Zara’s voice cut through the fog in my head. “You’ve been out for three weeks. Don’t do anything stupid like try to sit up.”

Three weeks? I was about to ask when it all came crashing back. We’d gone to my father’s facility and found his horrific experiments. The ceiling had come down. The last thing I remembered was a massive slab of concrete spinning toward us. My eyes snapped open. “What about Natasha and the riders?” “They’re alive.” Kieran moved into view on my other side. “You got them to the loading dock before the collapse.

Before the ceiling flattened you guys into pancakes, your magic created a cushion. Then your dragon went feral and tore through half a mountain to dig you out.” Memory flickered back in fragments. The groan of dying architecture would haunt my dreams. Natasha’s face turned toward me with that terrible understanding that we weren’t going to make it. Then Obsidian’s roar shook the foundations as he refused to let me die buried in my father’s abattoir.

“How bad is everyone?” I tried to push myself upright and immediately regretted it. The room spun, and my stomach lurched in protest.
