Three ceremonies (5)
Gasps and murmurs were heard among witches when the light around Talia flickered, dimmed, and then it exploded in all directions; all directions except for where Damon was standing. He was acting like a shield that prevented the light energy from advancing. That went beyond sorcery.
The light spilled over the witches like a tidal wave and their panicked expressions became elated when they felt the energy seeping into them. It was like a gentle caress of a mother, an embrace that came with safety and unconditional acceptance... euphoric, definitely much better than anything Evanora produced so far!
"Mom!", Yasmin shouted and reached to hold Evanora who was falling on the ground like a ragdoll.
With one thought from Yasmin, Evanora's falling trajectory changed, and the high priestess fell on Yasmin.
