The cavern throbbed with golden light as Kieran heaved heavy sighs…but the evil laughter stopped.
Their mother's eyes narrowed…
calculating, amused…
before she turned her attention back to Karl.
Her hand hovered above him again
like a conductor preparing the final note.
Karl's breath hitched in terror…and instead of showing any attempt or sign of resistance… he closed his eyes…
Kieran moved instantly…like a flash of golden ,
a shield cutting through the shadows…and his arm slammed between his mother and brother.
"DON'T TOUCH HIM AGAIN!I MEAN IT, WOMAN…DON'T PUSH MY LIMITS ANYMORE…"
He snarled, light rippling across his skin like living fire.
Her head fell back as she laughed out loud. "That's the plan, Kieran… That's the plan…All this…just to push your limits, my boy… "
But then suddenly something happened.
Karl flinched.
Not from her. She hadn't done anything yet.
It was from him. Kieran's glow was doing something to him.
