Arch 1
Chapter 18
Eira, as it turned out, had not gone far. She was holed up in a cave somewhere in the Appalachians. Her body lay motionless within the deep, dark recesses of the cave, curled behind a huge stalagmite. Her eyes were closed, but her eyes rolled behind her eyelids.
"Have we always had those powers?" Eira queried. "I do not remember having used them at all before."
"I don't know. I don't recall ever using them, I don't think…but you also have to remember we were clinically insane and murderous for the better part of 4,000 years. We may have just not known we could do that. Your guess is as good as mine. We share a brain, I only know as much as you do." Other Eira pointed out.
"Fair enough."
"So, we're…not going to maul entire villages, then? Right?"
"I do not feel inclined to do so…do you?"
"Not particularly. I think we're more worried about Max than unhinging our jaws like a snake and swallowing people whole."
