have.” He stared me down for a second or two. “Not this go around. We both have amends to make.”
“And kingdoms asking for our full attention. A supernatural war looking for heroes to be leaders among them.”
His dark eyes narrowed on me. “We can’t rule anything without being whole, without coming to terms with our past mistakes and all.”
I thought about telling him of the lore on the seven souls that were to rise and take out the evil Gods in place now, that I had a theory that Madison may very well be one of them, that I was unclear on what that role would ask of her or him, but I let it set for now. No sense in bringing up something I didn’t understand, something Phoenix and I were still mulling over.
“Well , then, I guess I need to go and check my borders, make sure we are safe and sound for the time being.”
“That’s what you go t out of all that? Go make sure your borders are safe?”
I nearly laughed. “She’s asleep. I get what you’re saying, I do.” As I stepped out of the Jeep, he followed. “I’m going to leave this here if you need it.”
“You’re getting fond of zapping around , aren’t you?”
“Faster when moving to different planes and such. I think I can teach you how to do this.”
He shook his head. “Already working on it.”
“Really?”
One nod.
I went to leave, but then I hesitated. “You need me, you call me. Don’t let pride stop you.”
“Same ,” he said to me.
There was more to say, more to analyze, more to prepare for , but words were not coming now. I doubted either of us would be in a position to debate or plot a future until we knew our girls were all right.
For now , we could only hope that sleep was healing them.
Chapter Four
~ Willow ~
This boy was moving entirely too fast to have been dead a day ago. His powerful stride flexed every muscle in his long, lean, warrior body and had him moving so fast that the only way I could track him was by moving my body at mach speed. I was beyond grateful that Pelhan had bothered to mention to me and Landen that we could move our bodies from place to place with a mere thought. It was draining me, no doubt. I felt all too mortal as I chased him to the gates of the string, then within the passages.
I felt my gut clench , knowing that leaving this way would do nothing but infuriate Landen. Yet he was the one that left me behind, wasn’t he? That feeling failed to hinder me as Justus approached the gray passages of Esterious. He bypassed the ones that I traveled through, the ones that were as large as doorways and led to the safe places within this dark dimension. Instead, he halted just past them, at a point that I doubted many travelers could see. The gray haze was no bigger than a baseball and was just above his six-foot-four stance.
He vaguely bothered to glance over his shoulder at me before he raised his head and exalted himself upward into the haze that could in no shape or form allow his body in.
I was wrong. As if it w ere welcoming Justus home, the haze expanded and a dark mist absorbed him.
Now , any reasonable person would have stopped in their tracks and turned back to find help, someone that could tell me without a doubt that the passage before me was safe. But I’m not reasonable. For some unknown, wacked out reason, a carnal maternal instinct had seized my soul.
I followed his lead , gazed up at the haze, and thrust myself upward. When the haze opened, I felt a tepid fog reach out for me and pull me forward at an unprecedented speed. Unlike the other passages, this was not one step between dimensions. It felt like I was caught in an ominous undertow. Breath was not possible for those brief few seconds.
Before I knew it , I was falling, fast and hard, to a stone floor a hundred feet below. I should have thought to stop myself, send my energy downward to give me some kind of landing barrier, but I was too astonished that I was falling to think rationally.
A mere two feet
