The Divine Apprentice (The Divine Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Okay, here goes, Kade thought. He felt his stomach twist into a knot. He performed the steps perfectly and called on the Divine Power. And, with that, he felt the power fill him and then the whooshing feel as it left his body. He looked around, feeling odd. The sense of being alone washed over him. “Okay, that should have…” Kade started to say but stopped, his eyes going wide. “Hello,” he said, tapping his ears, not hearing his voice. At first, he tried to remain calm. Then, realization that the Master Chosen was no longer there to save him made him swallow hard. He felt panic. It was now up to him to correct his blunder. He shook his head and even opened his jaw wide, as if to pop his eardrums, but of course, nothing helped. “NO,” Kade felt himself say. He could sense the vibrations in his head as he spoke. He quickly returned to the book and read through all the steps. At the very end, he read where he was supposed to have intoned a word. He was so focused on getting the moves right, he forgot the easiest part of the calling. He hit himself in the head, frustrated with such a stupid mistake. Kade struggled to stay calm and think. There has to be something that will fix this, he thought as he scanned over the page. He quickly flipped through the book but found it almost impossible to stay calm enough to focus. Kade stopped flipping pages when he read the top of one page with one single word. It was simply titled: DEAFNESS. Reading over the calling, he found it to be identical to the Silence Calling, but one had an incantation where the other had none. The discomfort of being completely deaf was making it difficult not to panic. He turned it sideways and read all the scribbles in the margins. As he started to stand, his eyes caught the number 57 scrawled at the very bottom, in the crease, where it was almost unreadable.
