The Cost of Love
After reading your epilogue (or continuation, as the case may be) for the Secrets scenario, I was haunted by the implications of Spark’s decision to stay with Vahaadi. It’s true that Vahaadi couldn’t live long in the lush, mild environment of Lunarious–but would Spark fair any better in the wastes of the Azaharian desert?
While I was mulling the idea over, an unexpected voice came into my mind with a potential solution…and a serious price.
Kala holds up a rounded vial. A glowing fluid swirls inside, casting reflections into her sober eyes.
“If you really want to stay with Vahaadi, you may need this,” she says, meeting Spark’s gaze steadily. “It will transform you into a djinni. It may be the only way you’ll survive the harshness of the desert.
But, Spark…
if you drink this, you’ll lose your powers.”
