The days it took to get to the outpost, then the days of flying, were long and dreary. No one was in the best of spirits. After the first two days of riding, Wylan’s team caught up to them. Yhkon had sent for them while they were running to Talea’s aid, figuring they might need more help. He had the four of them cover their trail and deal with any Kaydorians that were tailing them, so that they could travel straight to the outpost without worrying about giving its location away.

Wylan had seemed to have a hard time even looking at Talea in her comatose, wounded state. He’d been eager for a way to help and immediately accepted the idea of them staying behind for a while to throw off the Kaydorians, and come to Calcaria later. It had made Yhkon wonder if Jaylee’s suspicions were true about the two teenagers.

Then there was Rikky. He’d woken eventually, and the first word out of his mouth had been “Lea.” Only when they’d let him see her and given him a thorough report of her condition, with emphasis on the fact that she would be alright, could he be prevailed upon to tell them about what had happened. Skyve and Terindi, after all, had been only so helpful in that area. Terindi would barely talk, let alone about the battles. Skyve tried, but he would get jittery and end up stammering, trying to find some logical explanation for his difficulties.

While Yhkon wanted Talea to wake fully—she’d only ever come to semi-consciousness, enough for him to give her food and water—he was also worried about when she did. Rikky may be able to come out of the ordeal unscathed mentally and emotionally. Talea, probably not.

The only time Jaylee left his side was if Terindi needed her. He knew she worried that all his concern for Talea and his anger at Grrake was driving him over the edge. Back to the same place he’d been three years ago. Maybe it would have, if she wasn’t there.

Besides, it was easier dealing with Grrake now, because his father was leaving him alone. Only once after the explanation from Jay did Grrake attempt to talk to Yhkon. He’d managed about twenty seconds of grimacing and unfinished sentences, before saying “I’m sorry,” and walking away. Other than that, they only spoke when necessary.

It was an adjustment. At times, he found it hard to swallow. But it was better this way—they’d both get used to it, fall into a new routine, and it would be fine. He didn’t need Grrake anymore.
