EIGHTEEN: Calix’s Bird

The blazing energy Calix extracted from Keliyah's lips was more intense than anything he'd ever experienced. 

When he tried to pull away, feeling as if he'd burst into flames if he held on any longer, the girl clung to him with sleepy whimpers. Perhaps, she could feel the effects as strongly as he could.

That's good, he thought, slumping down beside the bed. He wasn't sure how much fire was left in Keliyah's body, but with as much as he'd taken from her, she should be able to return to normal soon.

As he stumbled toward his study, knowing he needed to expel the power from his body before he suffered the same fate as his late father, the emperor wondered how Keliyah had gotten to such a state.

Was it because she hadn't been using her powers? No, in that case, the flames should have remained dormant. This situation was more like she had been repeatedly igniting the fire in her blood and then leaving it trapped inside.
