Sorcerer: Witch's Woes: Power of Air (Book 3) by D. L. Harrison Read Free Book Online

done in both fire and air, both separately and combined. 
Medicine, physics, botany, computer science, business, and a more complete
understanding of the races outside of my own.
    As far as sorcerers and the elementals, well those were
still mostly blocked, although some small stuff came through on occasion.
    But vampires, werewolves, the cat shifters who I hadn’t met
yet at all, and witches I was gaining a good handle on, beyond the basics that
Diana had taught me.
    Sierra gave me a sideways panicked glance at the casual way
I’d dropped that conversation bomb, but seemed to relax when my aunt just
looked thoughtful.
    Mary asked, “Congrats, though I’m surprised your moving out
of the city, and into her family’s house?  Didn’t you just say things were
going well?”
    I wasn’t all that surprised by the question, how could I
explain that I couldn’t make Sierra move from her pack.  For a human it would
make sense for Sierra to move out and in with her independent boyfriend, and be
more independent of her family.  After all, I left my house for similar reasons
when I was eighteen, it had been time to get out and be independent.  She was
twenty-four now, and successful in her family’s business.  Any excuse I could
think of to explain it away would make my aunt think it was a cult of some
kind, now that I thought it out better.
    Amy was caught halfway between shock and delight.  Surprised
her older brother who she depended on but thought of as a geek was moving in
with the beautiful woman next to me, and delighted that I was probably about to
get the third degree.  Sisters…
    I shrugged and knew I was reaching when I said, “I don’t
have to be in my office every day, and she’s quite involved with her family’s
businesses.  It seemed to make more sense for me to commute.  We may get a
separate place built eventually, but it seemed like the best way in the short
term.  Her family are very welcoming of me as well.”
    Aitheria chuckled in my mind, she wasn’t helping very much. 
I still hadn’t figured out what it meant when she showed me her true self, the
information was blocked and she wasn’t talking.  Not that I’d asked her about
it, but we seemed even closer than ever.  Connected somehow, beyond the close
ties of family and friendship we’d had previously.  The only reason I worried
about that was because I knew she was… upset that I didn’t, although she didn’t
take it out on me.
    I’d come to the conclusion ten days ago that Aitheria’s
presence was to protect me from my enemies gaining knowledge of me.  It was her
primary task.  It made me think about why she wasn’t able to tell me anything
about other stuff.  It occurred to me that for the element of air, knowledge
was power, and power needed to be earned.  If she just told me everything I
wouldn’t have the wisdom or power to truly understand, and in the long run it
would probably just get me killed.
    When I was strong enough to face those enemies, I would be
able to get the information on my own.  Maybe then I’d also find out why I was
important enough to have her as a guardian, because I really didn’t have a
guess for that part.  I realized my mind had gone off on quite a tangent, and
got back to the conversation about my moving plans.
    Sierra nodded, “I realize it’s a little fast.”
    Amy blurted, “Am I going to be an aunt?”
    I glared at her.  My aunt Mary looked scandalized, I was
speechless, and Sierra just laughed.
    Sierra winked, “Not yet.  I know this seems fast, and we’ve
only been dating what… eleven or twelve days now, but we’ve known each other a
lot longer than that.  But no, we haven’t even discussed that or marriage yet.”
    Not yet?  I didn’t want to think about that right now, so I
stuffed it to the back of my mind.  The rest of what she said was an excellent
answer, even if for most of the time that we knew each other we hadn’t been in
contact, but it still wasn’t
