The demons stopped advancing.

The truth is, they had been backing away.

“With the realms’ magic renewed, its presence makes being right here painful for the larger ones,” Vhannor stated quietly.

However they weren’t defeated, or destroyed, and the sudden calm on this battlefield was ominous, not peaceable.

Drained as she was, Liris nonetheless felt the unease of leaving an enemy at giant, because the demon with that horrible rictus of a smile nonetheless grinned even because it retreated.

Leaving, for now. However that was too assured a search for Liris’ consolation, even when she wasn’t positive the demon knew what it conveyed.

However to her, it seemed like one other strike could be coming, and so they didn’t know from the place.

“They suppose it’s solely a matter of time for them now, don’t they?” Liris murmured, her lips barely transferring.

She saved her pen on her spell pad and didn’t look away because the final demon vanished from sight.

“We’ll cease them,” Vhannor stated confidently. “I’ve religion.”

Not at the moment. They weren’t ready, and neither had been the demons.

However Liris and Vhannor could be.

Then she did look away, as a result of she felt his burning gaze on her, and her breath caught on the drive of it simply earlier than he gathered her in his arms and crushed her to him. He kissed her so fiercely that Liris, nonetheless lightheaded after the spell, after the reduction that she’d executed it, that they’d lived, misplaced her steadiness.

To her shock, Vhannor didn’t catch her, simply tumbled down after her. They each blinked at one another for a second, after which Liris was laughing and he was kissing her once more and possibly they’d get via this in spite of everything.

There was nonetheless work to do. So, a lot.

However they had been right here to do it.

They usually’d do it collectively.

That, she might rejoice with out reservation.

Epilogue

House.

Finally, they needed to rejoin their comrades. Vhannor assured Liris this was momentary.

In a manner, she hoped it wasn’t, as a result of she’d by no means seen him so open amongst different individuals. She thought that is likely to be good for him, although it was clearly unnerving the Particular Operations casters.

Cleanup protocols had been underway, accidents handled. Liris knew that if she sat down once more all the things would catch as much as her suddenly, however there wasn’t a lot at this stage she might assist with. She hadn’t educated on what to do after a demon incursion.

Happily, the casters current didn’t appear to carry that in opposition to her—if Liris had stopped to consider it, she’d have assumed her show of energy would get their backs up, however as a substitute a lot of them nodded acknowledgement, known as easygoing calls for she display elements later.

What a marvel, for individuals to know what she might do and be capable of recognize it and never need her to cease doing it.

Liris made her manner over to Shry, lingering on the sides like she was. “Your timing is superb.”

Shry grinned faintly. “I do know.”

“How do you not look extra drained?” Liris demanded.

She shrugged. “Killing demons is a rush. Finally my physique will understand the enjoyable is over and I’ll fall over. Wished to run one thing by Vhannor first, however on second thought telling you is healthier.”

That received Liris’ consideration, together with amazement she nonetheless had consideration span left to get. “Oh?”
