Chapter 71. Prayers and Regrets

Lyra POV

“Pull back!”

I hear Freyja’s voice. It’s as loud as a scream and yet calm, firm, and I feel her standing strong beside me. She had suggested that I use my wolf, along with every emotion inside me, to let loose the power of the amulet.

It wasn’t hard, not after I reached the top of the castle walls and positioned myself in the lookout tower, getting my first glimpse of the carnage below. From my vantage point, the legions of warriors looked endless. They just kept coming.

I couldn’t let that continue.

But holler as she might, the power of the amulet shooting out of my hands is too much to do as she instructs right now. The electric energy pulsates through my veins, my nerves, my skin, using me as a conduit to let loose the streak of lightning that exits my fingertips.
