Seriously.
She made Jamie explain to Ry how to make one to her needs. They even added in where she can adjust the zoom like a microscope.
It’s pretty intriguing.
She and Gaster asked me a few minutes ago if I wanted to hang out with them in our secret room until the guys got done, but I told them I wanted to read a little while I had a quiet moment.
I only wanted alone time so I could force my mom’s book open, then be like ‘Ha! Guess what my gift is?’
Then not tell them right away.
I chuckle at myself as I gaze around my foyer.
Really, I’ve started calling it my library after Caspian informed me he counted the books in here and there’re exactly one thousand and fifty-six. I informed him that deemed it a library. He snorted, said barely, then shadowed out.
Sweet, asshole ghost.
Granted, the library at the academy has thousands upon thousands of texts, so I knew where his smart-ass teasing was coming from.
Anyways, my plan to surprise them isn’t going as planned.
Come on, Momma, give me something.
My lips flap as I blow out a harsh breath and look down at the words I’ve already read a million times even though they’re imprinted on my mind. No matter the amount of coaxing and sweet-talking I give the blank pages, no more ink shows up.
It’s just not time for my final lesson, I guess.
The last thing I want to do is rush or wish time away. It’s a little difficult to keep that in mind, though, when her potential words are at my fingertips. It holds a secret we’re all holding our breaths on.
Not only that, but every time I open her book, it’s like we’re having our own brand of Mommy and me day that I used to crave so much.
There’s no dire need or feeling like I’m failing everyone because I can’t get the last lesson to reveal to me. That feeling last time was because I was seriously running out of time to figure out what to do about the portals.
This time, I just simply want to read what she left me. I know it’s going to be exciting, even a little eye-opening, and I can’t wait to share it with the guys.
It feels like the last puzzle piece to my chaotic life.
I close her book and set it down beside me, then reach for the other one that was written by CC from his observations.
My book on true Primaries has been so informative and I’ve found that everything in it is true. Yet it isn’t about all true Primaries seeing as Aurora nor Oakly can do everything the book says you can.
But I can.
So it’s a book on true Primaries from my line.
My mom in particular.
We’ve tried and succeeded at everything written here. The guys really don’t like the way it feels having a foreign element pass through them. So we know we can do it, but I stick to only pushing out the element I share with whatever man I’m touching.
With my touch, their gifts increase significantly. Corentin witnessed firsthand by accident. Now, though, he likes to multiply himself for the hell of it. It’s sweet actually seeing him trick people with his clones. Tillman was able to command all his uncles to their knees. Which he was silently smug about.
Cas was able to move Keeper through his shadows without traveling with him. He’s always been able to move objects, and that one time at the training fields he moved me, but he could still see me. He moved Keeper clear across the palace without ever taking a step away from me.
Needless to say, his sneaking around is almost undetectable now.
Draken accidentally forced Dyce to shift with his growl. He was very apologetic for it, but Dyce just beamed with pride. My dragon and I, on the other hand…
He played it off well that he was swooping me away in excitement, but really, he was saving me from embarrassment. My dragon took me by surprise and forced her way to the forefront of my mind. I ripped his clothes off the second he popped us out in the bedroom…
