Me too, my love. She’s going to have sisters and be loved for her whole existence. She’ll be a different Lilith this time.

He didn’t doubt that.

The love of her mother will make all the difference.

She corrected him.

The love of all of us.

Rinnon was actually happy, and that made her heart feel good. When he was at peace, he was a different demon God.

For the next five minutes, their wicked witch got the spell ready for them. As Kiera finally finished getting it prepped, she glanced over.

“I think I’m ready, Death. Bring her over to me, and we’ll see if I can retrieve her memories enough to make her recall that spell.”

He waved her hand, and Mambo slid across the floor toward Kiera.

Once near her, she smiled.

“This won’t hurt.”

“You lie. This kind of magick has a cost, and it will be great. You know that, and you are willing to let it change you.”

Kiera blinked, and when she looked at Mambo, her eyes were jet black. Then, as quickly as they were there, they were gone.

She went to say something, but Kiera put her hand over her mouth.

“Hush.”

And she did.

That was another spell.

As Alexzandre created the salt circle around the two, Kiera began her spell. She chanted the words in an ancient language.

“Sorry, Flynn, but we need to retain this,” he said, erasing the man’s fifth grade talent show from his memory.

HEY!

We need to relearn so I’m stronger. We can’t fight fate with you singing Oklahoma while dressed like a hobo.

Flynn actually laughed.

Point made.

When they focused on Kiera, the second she touched Mambo’s forehead, her eyes opened, and she went to her knees.

Well, she wasn’t wrong about it being painful, now was she?

When her son went to go to her, he hit the protective circle, and flew backward into the wall with a thud.

As the circle held, Kiera let the spell do all of the heavy lifting. She could feel Aiobeheann retaining everything that Mambo had in her memories.

All that was hers, was now Aiobeheann’s too.

She was learning also.

When Kiera let her go, Mambo crumbled to the floor. Kiera wavered, but managed to stay up.
