“Anatol went out every day trying to find work and came up empty. Evangeline also went out, though now she kept her head down and her eyes carefully away from other people’s, mostly because she felt she couldn’t risk another encounter with someone who might wish to harm her and force her into using her magick again.
Her magick burned inside her now like a foreign thing, eating at her. She sensed all emotion around her, as well as felt her own. It made her sick to her stomach to be near crowds, b...ut try as she might to find some barriers to protect herself, it was like forming walls from water.
Here and there, they picked up odd jobs. It was the only thing that sustained them. Anatol loaded shelves at nearby stores sometimes for a few crowns. Evangeline picked up a little work at a local bakery that garnered them some of the leftover stock as her payment.
Then one day Anatol landed a more permanent job—down at the docks of the Tibrian Port. It offered him steady pay, if not much. It was enough to pay the rent on the room and to buy food, at least.MoreLess Read More Read Less
