Finally, while looking down at the food before me and pushing the steak around my plate, lacking appetite, I’m aware of his presence coming over me suddenly.
It starts with a slow tingle at the back of my neck and then a creeping warmth down my spine that makes me shudder. The rising of hairs on my skin as it goosebumps and grows to shocks and shivers at a rapid pace until a sickening feeling courses through my stomach. His presence is powerful, and I glance towards Cora for confirmation that she feels it too. Overwhelmed and suffocating which doesn’t’ bode well for us.
The other witch is busy watching the men walk in and seems unaffected in any way, her lack of any real magick shielding her from any effects it seems. I hold my breath to help with spiralling nausea and light-headedness as I catch sight of him, climbing under the ropes and ducking into the ring. My body sizzling in ways I haven’t experienced in centuries and my heart speeds at a deafening rate.
