Jeska was exultant in the full expression of her power. Through Radha she felt the rift churning, resisting her, but that only made the struggle sweeter. The phenomenon stretched and rolled and bubbled, hungrily seeking her out, but it was effectively baffled by the presence of the Keldon. It could not reach Jeska, could not touch her magically or physically.
She could touch it, however. Buffered through Radhaâs unrealized potential, Jeskaâs transcendent might was quickly taking control of the rift. In her mindâs eye she stretched her arms wide to encompass the entirety of the vortex and the chaos within. Jeska paused to strengthen her hold and drew the rift toward her in a final, killing embrace.
In the moment between Jeskaâs achieving full control over the riftâs substance and her unleashing her full fury on it, the world disappeared. Jamuraa and the sea vanished under a blinding sheet of unbroken, white haze. Teferi and Jhoira were gone. Venser was gone. Their voices and bodies and minds had vanished without a trace. All that remained were she and Radha and the rift, still locked in their terrible, destructive congress.
Confused, Jeska drifted in the seemingly timeless limbo. She realized that Radhaâs mind was open to her, that the barriers that kept the Keldonâs thoughts and intentions to herself had dropped away. Jeska tried to pull back, to prevent herself from becoming engaged, but the Keldonâs rage and anguish were inescapable.
Radhaâs scrambled memories were as alive and intense as the experiences themselves. Jeska felt the crippling wrench that had dropped Radha to her knees when Freyalise sealed the Skyshroud rift. After eighty years as an integral part of Radhaâs being, the sudden loss of the riftâs mana felt like being torn in two. Crushing waves of despair followed when nothing rose to fill the void left by Natureâs verdant force.
Get out of my mind.
Despite everything, Radha maintained enough of herself to object to sharing her past with Jeska. The bruteâs tenacity deserved some respect, though Jeska admitted so grudgingly.
Stop showing me things. Iâm nothing like you.
Jeska felt a chill shoot up her spine. She had shown nothing to Radha, shared nothingâ¦.Was her past on open display as well as the Keldonâs?
Then she was alone in the darkness, lying prone on a hard, stone table. Jeska felt uncomfortably cold as if her body had stopped generating its own heat. She sat upright and ran her hands across her own face. Her skin was wrong, her hair was wrong. Stunned, Jeska recognized this as one of the first mornings after she was resurrected as Phage, freshly uprooted from her Pardic home and reconnected to Otaria through the Cabalâs swamp magic.
Turn me loose, Planeswalker. Youâll get no sympathy from me.
Radha was here, somehow aware of or part of Jeskaâs most private memory. The lazy, aimless mood of their surroundings seemed to slow her reactions, but Jeska privately thanked providence that this particular memory hadnât started a few moments earlier. If it had, Radha would have
