There was suddenly a change. His power was there - coursing through him. He could feel hers too - sweet and almost gentle. Holy shit! We’re did it!
”You’ll need to seize it - can surrender,” he told her when she said she couldn’t do nothing.
Emily nodded. ”I know. By the way - your description wasn’t close enough,” she gave him a grin. ”Try something. Remember to surrender to mine.”
Jared nodded. The dichotomy of seizing his power and surrendering to hers was the first step. It took several tries but he did it. Then he began to channel. The difference between the powers was there. Hers was almost - flowery. Such a strange thing. He flowed his own power naturally and hers seemed to fill in gaps. They never joined together, but flowed next to each other. Filling in like a tapestry.
”There are holes in what you’re doing?” she said.
Jared shook his head. ”No - you just can’t see all of it. he responded.
”You can see it all,” she asked curiously.
”I can. It feels like…your power is flowing through you to me. Like a conduit. I thought it would be more like I was in a pool of power. It’s different.”
Jared went though a familiar weave - he did the same delving he had done with Nox. And applied to to Emily. Nothing was wrong with her - so he didn’t feel anything. He dropped his power and then let go of Emily’s as well.
Emily gasped at the release. ”you okay?”
She nodded and wrapped him in a hug. ”Yeah,” she said, a smile on her voice. ”You just understated how terrifying your power is.”
She kissed him. ”Do you realize what this means. How much more can we do together than separate?”
