Tolan returned to the cave on a warrior shaping, appearing outside the cave while holding onto the drawing he’d made. The draasin was with him, maintaining his draasin shape. Tolan could tell through the connection that the draasin had no intention of trying to show off how he could transition from one shape to another.

Perhaps Tolan didn’t need to do that, either. All he needed was to think about what the draasin had suggested.

If there was some way for him to change forms, what form would I take?

The draasin started to laugh.

“What is it?”

“You. You carry these questions within you, but you need not.”

“If there are things that I need to know, then I should be questioning,” Tolan said.

“Perhaps, though perhaps you should embrace who and what you are.”

Tolan smiled, looking at the draasin. “You don’t think I have?”

“I am not certain when it comes to you, Tolan Ethar. You embrace the elements, and you have embraced the elementals, but I wonder if you have truly embraced yourself.”

Tolan smiled. The idea that he had not embraced himself was amusing, but even more amusing was the idea that the draasin might be right. He had never really appreciated the differences that he had, and there were differences. He could use power that others could not. He could summon the elements and the elementals in ways that others could not. That was something that he needed to truly appreciate. He would need to use it, as well. It might be the key to stopping Rory.

Entering the cave, he looked around at the bondars, his gaze sweeping across the inside of the cave before settling on Ferrah. She had her red hair bound back in a strip of lace, and the cloak hanging on her shoulders was a little askew. Worry wrinkled the corners of her eyes.

She looked over at him. “Something changed.”

“What?” Tolan hurried over to her. There was an urgency in her voice, and a fear that he detected through the connection they shared with spirit. He reached for spirit, readying the other elements in case there might be an attack, but he didn’t detect anything nearby.

Perhaps there was some danger here, but he didn’t feel any sense of it. The only thing that he felt was the sense of the bondars, the energy that surrounded the cave, and the power that he knew existed here.

“Not in here,” Ferrah said. “It’s something with you.”

Tolan shook his head. “Nothing changed. I was with the draasin, and—”

“I know you were with the draasin, and I could tell he was doing something to block me.”

Tolan glanced over. The draasin curled up in one part of the cave, and he sent a sense of amusement between them. “The draasin blocked you?”

“Since you and I formed that bond, I haven’t had anything other than a sense of understanding between us. In this case, something separated us. I couldn’t feel it the same way as I had before.”

At least that answered the question about whether or not there was any way to conceal himself from others who were bonded.
