If it was anyone else holding her hands, she only had to whisper spellwords; and they be scampering around, on all four and have a skinny, fur bear rat tail, and bitty black eyes. This was her love pleading to trust her. She mind spoke to him; as her heart raced and her whole being was enticed to show him, how much, she loved only him. Kate closed her eyes, "Alistor, I have loved you for as long as I can remember. You were the first thought of my day and last at night. I would watch you from the attic window; through the garden gate; and under the sage bush, by the practice field. When I saw you at the battle of Barren Crossing; I knew you where my chosen. Champion of my heart and protector of my soul. Please take all I have to give you. I promise to love only you and will never betray your trust. Alistor, never break my promises."<br/><br/>There in the darkness Kate mind, body, and magical energy engulfed him in a marvelous display of brilliant, illumination, of warm, white, light, Kate poured out her unrestrained love.
