indent Gabriel was not possessed, as his father was. He was entirely in his own mind, driven only to the older, weaker part of his being. There was no outside influence. In times of desperation, he lost himself to rage and fury. He still smelled like blood. He could still taste the fear. The wind blew his hair in and out of his face and he looked down, finally aware of the pain in his hand. Of course. He would have found the spell broken by a half-brother who meant nothing to him.
