The whole thing happened very quickly, Will jumping aside and Molly completing the circle, then Snickers went down, completely silent. At first Will had worried the dog was dead, but Molly assured him Snickers was only sleeping, and Will quickly verified that he could see the dog's chest moving as he breathed.
As before at Kagura, there had been no physical proof that magic had occurred here. The only thing Will could see was the chalk circle on the floor. But he could feel the pulse of Molly's power inside him, throbbing softly at his temples, could smell the barely there burn of it at the back of his sinuses, tasted a hint of it on his tongue.
Will took a breath, and it was only then that he noticed the way his heart was racing. He'd always been quick on his feet, never hesitating to act when it was needed, but the anxiety of the moment poured into him as soon as things were calm, and he shook as he tried to process it. He held Molly's hand gratefully, looking up into her eyes.
"Can you tell what it was that was affecting him?" he asked, looking back to where Snickers slept in the center of the circle, peaceful now in all appearances.
