446 DARKNESS UNLEASHED

The bracelets, it had come off on my wrist. Caeden had been the one to remove it and the process he had hurt himself. I had always worn the bracelet for as long as I can remember. I also know they were no ordinary the bracelets. They may be pretty but I knew they were infused with powerful magic, a magic that served as a constant reminder of the control that was placed upon me. Whenever I felt anger bubbling up inside me, the bracelets would tighten around my wrists, sending a searing pain through my body.

I had to learn that the hard way when I first got angry at Azar when he first destroyed the first painting I had made. The bracelets had been puling, probably warning me that I should calm myself down but I didn't listen. The bracelets were there to keep in check, to prevent me from losing control and unleashing the full extent of my power. But that knowledge did little to ease the frustration and resentment that simmered beneath the surface.
