Chapter 208: Hylas Mountains Part 2

"Hey," he whispers, glancing over my shoulder and then back at me. "Have you heard from Sampson?"

I shake my head. "I'll let him know what we're up to."

"Make sure the others are okay."

I close my eyes and focus on the Fychu like I have been all day. Clearing my mind, I access that internal voice I've grown used to using.

Sampson, we're at the southern base of the Hylas Mountains. I'm with Reid in a safe place. We got separated from Jace and Booker but Warze left to bring them back. How are things at the city?

A beat and then, Fallon! It's good to hear your voice. We've taken control of the city again, but I fear it's because the majority of Vermix have left to join the others at the Hylas. Everyone is safe. Are you sure you're in a secure place? The majority of Reuzkimpart's forces are near you.

We're fine for right now. The Zingfinolds have been taking out a lot of the Vermix. There are still a good amount, but not as many as earlier.
