Chapter 318
In all the time I'd been here, I hadn't allowed myself to think of a worst-case scenario. Not that there was a best case when someone had been hit with dark magic. Just... not worst. Dark magic had killed Tessa. Literally burned her up from the inside, and granted Rohan wasn't a habitual user of the dark arts, but he hadn't built up any tolerance to it either.
Leo tried to pull me away.
"Tell me." My voice was just shy of a shriek. "Is he dead?"
"No! I don't think. No," Drio said more quietly. "Raquel rescued him from the compound to heal the dark magic, but it's still fucked up and he's disappeared. I thought bringing your body back would draw him out."
A rush of relief hit me that Raquel was okay. I clung to that feeling like a life raft.
"Luckily, an alive me is even better than my corpse," I said, the laugh coming out oddly strangled. "We'll go to Ro's place and I'll do a location spell."
"Va bene."
