Flashback 40

Sevir put his hand on the crystal, trying his best to control the heavy breaths.

“Sevir? Where are you?” RuIng asked.

“If I have too much fire around me, would it get to you through the crystal?”

“Not until you want it to.”

“If I use too much fire, like you did, can I come out on your side without you having to come?”

“You can, but I still think mother is on your side.”

“She IS on yours. The cave, the voice, all indicate that she is there.”

“Don’t you have a cave on your side of the world? And the voices still searching, which means she is there.”

Sevir didn’t argue. “Alright. I just wanted to ask that the extra fire will not trigger the crystal on its own.”

“No. Why the extra fire?”

“I promised you I will take care of things at my end. I am taking care.”

“Do not be reckless, Sevir.”

“I have thought this through.”

“How through? Today? An hour ago?”

“Like now.”

“Sevir. Get out of there. Don’t you dare be reckless!”
