**********

The wight was coming for Mey. He couldn’t let that happen. She has to stay safe. He uttered a few words that had him at her side in an instant. Exhausted though he was, he still had a few spells left to him. Thom knew his strength was fading, but he used one of the more powerful spells anyway. He couldn’t let anything happen to her, she was his responsibility.

As the tiny bolts of electricity shot from his fingertips into the wight, it let out a horrific wail. The spell had hurt it, he could see the tiny holes through the creature’s chest. But it’s wailing response was deafening. Thom felt as though he were nailed in place. He couldn’t move.

Sinking to his knees, his thoughts lingered only on Mey. She had to make it to Sorga, and beyond to the Heartstone so she could mend the statue. They were so close. But the thought of leaving her bothered him the most.

An icy chill seared his heart and he looked down. The wight’s arm was protruding from his chest. He tried to take a breath but it caught in his throat. Numbness crawled out from the fingers gripping his heart and flowed outward to the rest of his body. Darkness tugged at the edges of his sight and he knew he was dying.

I won’t leave her. This thought played over and over in his mind as the darkness finally overcame him and he fell to the ground. Swirls of color snaked behind his closed eyelids.

One pinpoint of light hovered in the center. It was so far away, it would be impossible to reach it, but he knew he had to. He concentrated on that light and tried to move forward.

As if granting his wish, light was all around him. He had thought about going toward that light and then, there it was. He had read about the two planes of existence but actually experiencing them both was beyond comprehension. His body lie on the physical plane, and now, his mind had wandered into the spiritual plane. It made perfect sense, really.

The wight was not of the physical plane. When it struck him, it set him on a journey into the spiritual plane. He would become an incorporeal being just like those creatures they battled. As this thought sank in, panic welled. He didn’t want to be a creature of spirit! You have to fight this, he told himself. The panic rose steadily from his stomach to his throat, making it hard to breathe. Frantically searching around him for any sign of what he should do, he stumbled and fell to his knees.

“Don’t be frightened.” The voice startled Thom and he froze.

A feeling of calm washed over him like warm water. He could feel it seep into his pores and wash through his body. He took a deep breath and let it out in an audible sigh.

“There,” the voice continued, “that’s better. Now you do not feel so chaotic.”

Afraid at what he might find when he looked up, Thom kept his eyes on the ground beneath him.
