Tolan pushed Ferrah behind him and focused on the sense of the elemental. The longer he did, the more he became aware the elemental was there, watching. As he pushed earth and spirit outward, there was another sense to it, one that surprised him.

It wasn’t corrupted.

It was different than what he had detected from the other elemental out here. He had come to expect the elementals would all be corrupted. In this case, what he had picked up on was different.

It was powerful and completely invisible.

It was almost as if the elemental didn’t want to be seen, and yet it wanted to be felt.

He pushed outward using a hint of earth, but added fire to it as well, mixing with spirit. Then he had a sense of understanding.

Tolan grabbed Ferrah, holding her with him as he started forward.

He headed across the waste, away from the sense of the Convergence he knew was nearby.

He held onto earth and fire with a little bit of spirit, but not much more than that. Tolan wasn’t sure how much more spirit he would be able to use. His own strength was flagging and were it not for the energy he borrowed from hyza, Tolan wasn’t sure he was going to be able to stay on his feet. If it were not necessary to keep going, he didn’t know if he would even be able to do so.

Ferrah remained quiet, keeping close to him, staying behind him.

It was at times like these when he wished they both had the ability to shape here. If she would have been able to shape, what might she have done when it came to the corrupted elementals? There wasn’t any shaping she would have been able to use on them. There wasn’t any shaping he thought he wanted her to use on them. Until they had a better understanding of them, it was better to simply run from them.

“Where are we going?” she whispered.

“There’s something we need to see.”

“Is it another elemental?”

He nodded slowly.

“Like the last one?”

He shook his head. “Not like the last one. This is different.”

“Are you sure? If it is…”

“I’m sure.”

He continued forward, focused on the energy he was able to feel. It told him the direction of the elemental. He was drawn to it, compelled to go to it, almost as if fire itself were calling to him.

In the case of the draasin, of course it would be.

Tolan found a strange-looking boulder near a ridge. As he approached it, a shimmering heat radiated from it, as if the sun had been beating on it directly throughout the entire day. There was something quite unusual about it.

Tolan paused in front of it, looking at it, watching to see if there might be something he might be able to uncover about it, but he didn’t see anything.

“I know you’re there,” he said.

He held his breath, holding onto the sense of earth and fire, using spirit as much as he could, and he waited.

The stone remained unmoving.

The heat radiating off it called to him and Tolan waited, listening to that sense, focused on it.
