that if Dylan and Aira could put their separate elementally-aligned talents together, they would make a formidable telepathic team. They had never had a chance to try it, with things as unsettled as they had been—and if they didn’t get through this, they never would. 
    “You’re Aira. Who are these two?” Aira glanced casually at Dylan and Aiden and shrugged.
    “They’re my bodyguards. My grandmother instituted them shortly before I came into my full abilities, and they’re continuing to serve me while I stand in contention.” The guard nodded curtly to his partner, and they stepped aside, allowing the three to pass through the entrance. Relief washed over Dylan, but at the same time he was more tense than he had been before. Had they been denied entrance into the building, that would have been an end to it, but now they would have to find Alex’s holding cell and interrogate him without anyone else finding out what they were doing. They turned a corner down the hall and Aira stopped him. 
    “Give me another dose of the potion,” she said urgently. Dylan looked at her sharply. She shouldn’t need the potion yet—she had been able to walk just fine, no sign of fatigue or weakness on her. 
    “You don’t know how quickly you’ll gain a tolerance,” Dylan whispered. Aira shrugged and smiled ruefully.
    “Well, I need it right now. It’s the only possible way I’ll be able to use my abilities—and I think we’re going to need them.” Dylan reluctantly took out a vial of the potion he’d brought with him as a precaution. He had another, but he hoped it wouldn’t be necessary. He handed it to Aira and she knocked back the contents, swallowing firmly and handing him back the glass vial. She smiled at him with gratitude in her hazel eyes before turning back to continue on her way.
    Aiden glanced around warily and Dylan realized that, in his worry for Aira, he wasn’t doing a very good job as her bodyguard. The building was a labyrinth. They couldn’t tell what it had originally been used for—maybe a small hospital. They also had no idea how they were going to find Alex in the twisting halls. 
    To his surprise, they came to a desk manned by an elemental; an older woman, obviously of the fire alignment by the energy radiating from her and the fact that, in the privacy of an elemental-owned building, she was playing with a small, marble-sized ball of fire in her hands. Dylan, Aira, and Aiden exchanged glances and Aiden stepped forward, catching the woman’s attention. 
    “Hey, we need to be directed to Alex, the air elemental who’s due for execution.” The woman glanced from Aiden to Aira and Dylan, curious but not unwelcoming.
    “What do you need with him?” she asked, sitting back, obviously relishing her position of power. Aiden pointed to Aira.
    “We need to interrogate him before she puts him to death in a couple of days.” The woman looked at Aira again, betraying her faint disbelief.
    “An air elemental? I’ve never heard of an air elemental executing anyone.” 
    Aiden shrugged.
    “The elders’ orders,” he said. “We need some information from him before he goes out though, and we need it ASAP.” The woman glanced at Aira again and then met Aiden’s gaze.
    “What do you need from him? I can get it for you.” 
    Aiden shook his head. “Private information.” Aiden leaned in and spoke in a hushed tone. “If you’re as smart as you seem to be, you’ll notice that the woman I’m traveling with is one of those in contention for ruler of the element of air. Do you really want to offend her?” The woman’s gaze flicked over to Aira again and Dylan noticed that Aira was standing taller, moving towards the desk. He sensed the controlled focus of her mind, the energy increasing in her body in spite of the poison still lingering there.
    “Let me in to see Alex,” she told the woman simply but firmly, catching and holding her gaze. Dylan almost rejoiced at the shimmering of
