“We have to pull the plug. Somehow we’ve got to pull the plug.”
Pull the plug?
Electricity,Cadell answered Seren.
We must break the current of her power.
Carys had to grab the crowd’s attention somehow. She had to stop this insanity before it all boiled over. Boil. Heat.
How do you kill heat?
What are you thinking, sister?
“Hey, Laura!” Carys shouted. “Remember that Grateful Dead festival in Baywood they ended up canceling a couple of summers ago?”
“Yeah!”
It had been a gorgeous summer interrupted by a freak rainstorm that had driven the old hippies back to their trucks and camper vans.
“We need to break up this party!” she shouted.
It was a glorious summer night in Southern England with balmy air and a warm breeze wafting over the countryside, which meant that everyone was prone to being outdoors to enjoy the weather anyway.
Even people who hadn’t seen Macha online were probably hearing about the party happening at Cley Hill. They were followers, not worshippers. The people camping on the hill and grilling hamburgers and sausages on the hill. But followers or worshippers, their energy fed Macha just the same.
“We need to rain them out!”
Someone walked between Carys and Laura with an honest-to-God boom box on their shoulder.
“What did you say?” Laura yelled.
“Rain!” Carys yelled. “Can you make itrainyandcold?”
Duncan grunted and shifted under her. “Rain has to be the least magical thing about England. You’re probably on to something there.”
“Rain?”
Carys nodded.
That’s actually quite brilliant.
“You don’t have to sound so surprised,” Carys muttered.
Naida’s eyes brightened. “Macha has thinned the barrier between the worlds here. I believe the earth will listen to me. I can help.”
Laura patted Cadell’s shoulder. “Okay, dragon. Get me to anyplace that has some water, bare earth, and open sky.”
That woman is in love with Cadell.
“Go!” Carys ignored Seren because wow, this was really not the time to gossip about that subject. “Find someplace that’s away from here.”
Cadell turned and started back toward the slope of the hill where they had walked up.
“Wolf!” Duncan tossed Godrik a phone. “Give that to Laura.”
Godrik nodded, then moved through the crowd with Naida on his shoulders.
“What do you want us to do?” Lachlan shouted.
