Chapter 52 Seeing

• Zander’s hands grasp his, his eyes closing as he sees everything, starting to pull away when he sees Aileen, his body running cold and trembling. Cayson hangs on, not letting him go, and Zander slowly he watches everything, the confusion etched on his face. His head shakes as he keeps muttering ‘this isn’t possible’ to himself. Zander watches Aileen through Cayson, seeing the love she has for everyone, even Gwenael. Something inside her made her protective of him. No Monventla would feel that, no Monventla would care about killing or hurting. Yet for some reason, Aileen did.
• He stays quiet, still watching, the thought of how it could be possible floating around his head as he lets go and sits back. No-one speaks, Zander trying to make sense of what he had seen. It wasn’t a trick, it wasn’t magic, he would have felt it if their minds had been compromised.
• “Look, you can see what she is and what she isn’t, and how she’s different. We need you, Zander. We need you to do this with her, but with the truth and unbinding spells so she can’t possibly hide anything. If you see it, you can show other witches the truth as well, they’ll listen to you.” Gwenael looks at him waiting; he can see the doubt on his face.
