My Blood Wizard System
Remy’s got the aux cord wired to his phone, and he hits play on the playlist he made last night titled “Storming Shambhala.”
First track: RASE’s “Ridică-te din Noapte”—the Romanian rock anthem that blasts out of the speakers like a war cry.
The bass thumps so hard the dashboard rattles.
Remy (yelling over the music):
“Rise from the night, storm queen! Let’s wake some monks!”
I laugh, head out the window, singing along off-key in Romanian that would make my mom proud (and my dad cringe).
Seras is in the middle seat, arms out like she’s flying, flames trailing from her fingertips in perfect sync with the guitar riff.
