“I’m on my way back.” “Where are you?”
“In the Andes.”
Middle-of-nowhere, Peru. It was going to take days for him to get back. “You’re too far. She won’t last. Can you make her show me what I need to see?”
“I wish I could, but I can’t. If she’s sleeping hard enough to not wake from what you’re pushing through her, then she’s been put in a stasis and I won’t bring her out of it. It’s what’s keeping her alive.” He was quiet for a moment.
Anxiety built in me. I pushed more power, hoping I wasn’t draining Dastien too much.
“Ach. I see. Thank God you’re there. I can’t fix this, but you can. It’s all you. And I might not get there in time to help you either. I’m running now, but it’ll take me a day to get to the city. I’ll be on the first flight out, but…Christ. I shouldn’t have left her.”
