Chapter Fifteen

Sam didn’t stay there for long. It was still possible that Ferand and the others would have seen what he’d done. If they had, then they would know there was a barrier here. He’d seen the way Ferand could work with barriers and even work around them, with enough power. The man had destroyed a section of the Academy as he’d breached it, so there was always the possibility he would do something similar now.

Sam dragged Daven to the wall leading to the other room. He didn’t know if the key would grant him access to the room, but he had to try. He pressed his hand against it and soon felt the resistance fade. The vrandal pulsed, and with each one, he could sense the power flowing from him and toward the wall, but they couldn’t go through.

“Daven, we need to get through here.”

Daven moaned. Sam moved him and tried to lean him against the wall, but that didn’t seem to make any difference either. What was it going to take? He didn’t like the idea of remaining so much in the open. If Ferand discovered this place, he would only need to pass through the barrier to see them. They had to get another layer of separation.

What had Daven done? It had been the vrandal, but Daven had lost his. Could Sam use his with Daven? He grabbed the man’s hand and pressed his against it, using the two of them to push against the barrier. The same sense of resistance was there, but he continued to push, letting that power flow into the barrier.

Then they fell through.

Sam dragged Daven toward the center of the room, holding onto him and trying to find a place where he could rest comfortably. The room was empty other than the single table with the strange lantern.

Daven needed help, and the only way Sam could come up with it was by using the very thing that Daven had used to communicate with other alchemists.

The lantern. Using that, he could communicate with Daven’s allies and call for help. He would have to do it before the device stopped pulsing. For now, it remained active, but he didn’t know how much longer that would be the case.

He held his hand near the lantern, and then it had started to glow with the deep greenish light.

Sam thought of the same sort of power when working with the almanac. He held his hand over the lantern out. He twisted his hand, following the pattern that he used to activate the vrandal, and there came a burst of energy out of it. It was the greenish light of alchemy, and as it flowed from Sam’s hand, striking the lantern, he felt something change. There was a sense of power that came from the lantern, power that flowed outward, that Sam thought he might be able to utilize.

There was a hint of color shifting. It happened slowly—almost too slowly at first. He tried to force it by focusing on the light, focusing on what he wanted from it.
