Interlude

I have been waiting so patiently.

Watching only.

See, sister, I can play it safe too.

The charm she has now obscures what I could once see so easily. Rude. My sister and I are bonded. She should never hide from me. But no matter what I have done lately, I cannot pinpoint her exact location. I cannot grasp her magic fully. It flutters from my hands like a little bird before I have a chance to pop its head off.

Glimmers. I have seen only flashes of her magic, like lightning in a storm.

That light has been fading.

Her well of magic is so very low right now.

She emptied herself for him.

She emptied herself for me.
