“I’ll stay with you.” Maya stepped forward. “Kaya and I can focus on drawing our parent’s energy here while you draw yours, Lucas,” she suggested. “Okay. Thank you for staying with me, you two.” “Always,” Kaya replied. “All right…here we go.” Lucas braced himself with another exhale and closed his eyes. Memories of his parents swam through his mind. He remembered losing himself in the Loxx woods and the times his mother would come to find him. The hovering fog in front of him began to swirl, increasing in density. “Sis, look,” Kaya whispered. Maya gasped as the fog formed into a humanoid shape. Lucas could see a clear picture of his parent’s faces in his mind. “Lucas, darling. Open your eyes…” The voice startled him. He recognized it, yet it sent him stumbling backward in disbelief.
