Naomi stared at her palm, watching the symbols fade into nothing. 'It has activated,' she murmured, lifting her gaze and looking at the location of Asher's room.
All of a sudden, Asher appeared at the window, his sharp eyes locking with hers. A single thought flashed through his mind.
'Frost mist.'
Instantaneously, the air transformed and a fierce blizzard engulfed the entire castle and Asher leaped out of the window, landing with a heavy thud.
Clack!
He heard the sound of wood hitting the paved ground and chains made of flames erupted from the ground and coiled around his arms. But the moment the chains touched him, they froze and shattered into fragments, drawing a startled gasp from someone nearby.
Asher turned toward the source of the sound and traced it back.
Swoosh!
In a flash, he closed the gap between himself and Naomi and placed his hand firmly holding Euodias. "You couldn't hide your force signature well."
Shing!
