There was a fluttering sensation across my throat as my tattooed eye opened wide. I clenched my jaw, and it took every ounce of strength I possessed not to tip my head back and open all my eyes wide.

“They’re dead,” Orion said loudly.

Corvus burned hotter.

The music raged as bodies danced around us.

Three commoners moaned pitifully as they tried to stand up.

“Which one of you kissed her lips?” Corvus asked softly.

Listening to the man shift at my feet, I reached down and picked him up. I tightened my fingers until he choked and gurgled.

It wasn’t enough.

The man Orion had picked up pleaded, “Please, we didn’t mean to.” He moaned in pain as Orion crushed his balls.

“Answer or all three of you die,” Corvus ordered.

I loosened my choke hold.

“It wasn’t me,” the man in my hands said at the same time Orion’s commoner denied kissing her.

I smiled.

Orion and I moved in tandem.

I slammed my knee into my man’s crotch and let him collapse to his knees. He whimpered in pain. A whoosh blew against me harmlessly. “An air nymph, how pathetic,” I taunted.

I grabbed the sides of his head with both hands.

Twisted.

Snapped his head 360 degrees.

Bone crunched as Orion did the same.

There was a thud as two bodies dropped to the floor.

The music switched to a fast-paced song, and the students jumped in tandem.

The floor shook.

The man in Corvus’s hands whimpered, “If you let me go, I promise that when my friends heal, we won’t tell Lothaire what you did.”

The corner of my lips lifted.

Orion laughed loudly.

Students bumped into my back and sides as they jumped up and down and screamed lyrics.

Corvus snapped his fingers.

Heat exploded.

The commoner screamed as his two friends were incinerated into ashes in a matter of seconds.

Immortality.
