When it got dark enough, we had already talked about everything. The cat dozed off, Svyat also nodded his nose, and I looked at the stars. Stunning. Huge. And so bright, as if hanging over your head. These only happen in the fall.

-Well? — Sleepily muttered the cat, moving closer to the warm side of the wolf.
“Nothing, sleep.” I muttered in an undertone, trying not to disturb their sleep.
She tilted her head again. She gazed absently at the shooting star. Wish I could sit like this forever! Everyone together. Only without this here is the feeling of a sword brought over the head.
What a beautiful sky. Looking at the stars is always a little sad. It’s like looking into the past. I wonder what the world was like before us? Then, when the ley lines, the veins of magic, were on the surface. Were they as bright as the stars? Back then, magic was everywhere! It must have been an amazing time. I automatically rubbed my wrist. The hand seemed to freeze, the wrist responded with pain. Fingers tingled. I lowered my eyes, but saw nothing special. She clenched her hand into a fist and nearly cried out in pain. What’s happening?!
I closed my eyes, tuned in, and opened them again. I just wanted to see what was wrong with my hand with a special look. But what I saw amazed me and I completely forgot about the hand. All the space around us was riddled with bright lines. Hundreds and hundreds of ley lines. Magic permeated the air around this place through and through. Their neon blue light blotted out even the sky. My wrist twisted in sharp pain, and I looked down at my hand. From my elbow to my fingertips, magic shone in every vein. I have never seen anything like it.
-What are you staring at? The cat rubbed his eyes sleepily. But he did not need an answer, he quickly orientated himself. -Stunned!!
The cat familiarly kicked Saint with his paw, and he also threw up his head. Sleepily shook his head as he came to his senses.
-I’ve seen ley lines, but never — so many together! It must have been because of the giants that I didn’t feel that… power!
-What a beauty! Witch!! Do you feel that?! I am omnipotent!!
I felt. But at the same time, I felt my hand hurt. The pain was concentrated in the wrist. It throbbed, spreading in waves along the arm.
-What happened to you? The Saint asked anxiously.
-I dont know. — I confessed honestly.
I didn’t really know, but nothing but kissing Klaus came to mind. He touched his lips in this place. And for some reason I also remembered the blood on the Saint’s coat.
So. OK. Whatever happens here, wait! I’m going to blow someone’s head off first!
But even such a simple, albeit bloodthirsty, plan failed to come true. The flames of the fire shot up to the heavens. I automatically raised my hand in defense. But she felt such a strong wave of energy that she bounced back. It’s like hitting an iron bar against a concrete pole and trying to hold the bar in your hands.
«Klaus?» the cat suggested angrily.
Svyat growled deafly, and I swore to myself. However, from the fire, which for a moment became a conductor, it was not a warlock who emerged at all. Four witches came out of the fire. Water, Earth, Fire and Air. Four elements and four queens. Four guardians of all life.
— Hello, Roxanne. All four sang in unison.
And I shuddered and almost burst into tears. It’s all in their voices. And the howling of the wind, and the crackling of the fire, and the roar of the waves, and the sound of the earth on the lid of the last refuge. What they lacked was promise and hope for the best. At that very moment, I realized that I had lost everything that was dear to me, and maybe even more.
