The ground under my feet gave a low groan just before dawn and every hair on my arms stood up.
I shook Cassian awake. "It is moving. Get up. Now."
He sat straight. "How bad?"
"Not open yet but close. Mira, Thorne, wake up. The soft spot is waking."
Mira rushed in with Thorne right behind. "Mom, I felt it too. Like a slow push. What do we do?"
Thorne rubbed his eyes. "Kids are still asleep. I told Kai to stay by their door. Lumen, you want the same line as before?"
I nodded fast. "Yes. Mira, you lead. Cassian left side with me. Thorne middle with Mira. Talk every second. No quiet."
We ran to the edge. The soft spot looked darker. Mira spoke first. "It is warmer. Thorne, feel that?"
Thorne pressed his palm down. "Warm and thick. Like it wants to rise. Dad, your side?"
