Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view
- - -
I enjoyed Sergio's reaction when I cast a sound barrier.
I knew that I should keep my abilities concealed and the fewer people know what I can do, the better, but Sergio's condescending gaze rubbed me the wrong way.
I hated that he looked down on me.
I hated that he saw me as Duke's liability.
I hated that he feared Aldus yet ignored me.
From now, Sergio will know I'm not weak and ignorant and he should show some respect.
He called me a runemaster. That's a first.
The truth is that the bracelet (which is embedded in the flesh of my left wrist) is a magical tool that is allowing me to channel energy and operate runes.
