Aiden had been distracted and about to turn towards me, but when Chase bellowed, he snapped back to face him. He makes a flicking motion with one hand, and Chase hisses. Aiden shakes his head, laughing. "What a pussy," he sneers.
Then, when his attention is fully on Chase, I do it. I have to release the shield to send a dagger of power arcing through the morning air to slash between Aiden and Chase and Nathanial. But as soon as my shield dissolves, Aiden can sense me.
