"Magic is not something you can merely say, and then manifest. It is an understanding of the world around you and a manipulation of its physical properties," the Dark One said as she approached me.
She stood face to face with me, staring into my eyes. I felt unnerved and self-conscious.
"Now then," she said as I felt her hand grab mine. She extended my hand and moved around beside me. "Sense what I am doing, and feel what I stirring," she said as her palm touched the back of my hand.
Every nerve and feeling was firing off all at once, focused on the contact between us.
Gradually, I felt a heat exude from her hand into mine. A tingling sense flowed from the back of my hand, around it, and toward my palm.
"What is this?" I whispered.
"This is the flow of magic," she said softly.
Slowly, that tinging feeling encircled my hand and traveled down the surface of my arm, across my shoulder and around my neck and waist.
Suddenly, it stopped, and the Dark One released me, causing me to step forward with labored breath.
"That is what you should feel," she said.
