Unfortunate Finding

An hour later they were in flight and taken as high up as they could get, but still had a large climb ahead of them. It was going to take a day to get up there. Jin had to carry Isla who came with them and she didn't weigh much. Isla had managed to speak with Kendra just once out of earshot.

"Don't worry. Demetri sent us to help. I'll do what I can to help Xerxes." She said confidently, but Kendra didn't know what a nine-year-old child could do. Perhaps she was older, but she was still young only her eyes betrayed her age. Mages did tend to be old souls in young bodies, older than their age. They were not like human children. That did tend to be something many adults did not understand, their maturity was different.
