Mira quickly summoned her defensive magic and vanished into the night. Or rather, slipped into the shadows themselves, and quickly escaped the little alcove without looking behind. She had not idea that because she had been spooked, she had used magic that she otherwise would not have dared to use in company.

With the silence broken, the three of them exchanged shocked looks until Zai finally found his voice. "She just disappeared on us… and she used that magic so smoothly? That was dark magic, wasn't it?"
Kalyn, suddenly feeling empty without her weight in his arms, looked down and sighed."I never thought someone could use such magic. It felt like it was part of her. She didn't even need a medium."
The three fell quiet again.
