Apologizing

Magnus's eyes flickered with an unreadable emotion. After a pause, he took a breath and shook his head.

"You have one year before that. What do you plan to do?"

Atticus's response was immediate. "Train."

"Hmm, good." Magnus nodded approvingly, though this time, his gaze felt more probing.

"I can sense the Starhaven aura around you."

Magnus's words made Atticus's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but smile. Just like before, when Magnus had guessed that he could awaken other elements, he had done it again.

"Yes, Grandpa. I've been meaning to tell you…" Atticus went on to explain how he'd awakened the spirit element during the war and his theories about his bloodline.

It wasn't limited to the basic elements they knew, even space, and other elements he hadn't even thought possible, were also within his reach.

"Seraphina knows," Magnus pointed out.
