Chapter 22: The Sound After Silence

"She led you to the only help available." The whispery voice came from a will o' wisp, emerging from hiding behind one of the stone formations jutting from the floor, followed by the Gray Lady.

"So you know the way out of here?” Megan asked. “Show us, quick!"

"No, I..." The words paused, as did the Gray Lady, blank eyes widening as she looked at Justin. "Is that...?"

Megan wanted to scream about all the scouts and short-enough soldiers behind them, but on seeing the look, she took a deep breath and responded. "Yes. Sorcha. But this is about to be a very short reunion. I'm sorry."

The Gray Lady stepped forward, helping Justin to ease Sorcha off his shoulders and onto her feet. The woman hugged the former slave, and after a few moments of confusion, the girl hugged the bane sidhe back.

Finally, with the echoing howls continuing to build, the Gray Lady broke the embrace. "You will need to follow my instructions precisely."

"We will," Megan said, looking to the others, and back to the bane sidhe.

As the hordes closed in on their dead end, the Gray Lady turned to face out towards the single door into the chamber, stepping forward, leaving the teens behind her. The wisp spoke, "Plug your ears with wax, and even then, sing your best counter-magic to yourself, and your friends. And do not stop."

Lani had long since taken up packing lots of earplugs. She handed them out as soon as the group had gathered close, including Sorcha. Megan also handed the sword back to Justin, to get the magical protection into the best hands, taking the spear herself to enhance her song.

As soon as they had the plugs, Megan began to sing, huddled in a small circle with her friends, singing to them, and wishing, for the first time, that her mournful version of the counter-magic song didn't sound so hopeless.
