Holding onto the bondar left Tolan with a sick feeling in his stomach. He knew it shouldn’t matter, just like he knew he was doing what was necessary, but he couldn’t shake the feeling he had done the very thing the elementals feared. By using the bondar and turning it into a containment for the elemental, a bond of sorts, he was becoming the very thing he had railed against ever since coming to the Academy.

Was that how it had started?

He couldn’t shake that feeling, and if it was the case, then perhaps his questioning of the purpose for the bond, and the nature of them as the elementals had surged into them, needed to be directed in a different way. He’d treated the bonds as something that had tormented the elementals, and in the time he had been aware of the elementals and the bonds, there was no doubting there were some tormented within it, but there was also the fact that the Draasin Lord and other elementals had shared with him that the elementals had gone into the bond voluntarily.

That wasn’t something a creature that feared the bond would have done.

Tolan looked over at Ferrah. She watched him, an expression of concern written on her face, but there was nothing Tolan could say. How could he, when the only thing he could think of was shame?

“We need to get moving,” he said.

“Tolan. We can talk about this.”

Tolan held onto the bondar, carefully tucking it into his pocket. “There’s really nothing to talk about at this point. The only thing we can do is keep moving. Eventually…”

Eventually he intended to do whatever he could to free the elemental from the bondar, but once he did, then what?

He had to figure out what his mother and whoever she worked with were doing with the others. That was the key. Something had been done, and there had to be some reason they had been tormented, but he didn’t know what it was other than they were chasing power, using some aspect of chaos to do so.

“Where do you want to go?”

He focused on the sense of the elements. He thought he could use a warrior shaping, but he wasn’t entirely certain. Carrying himself across the entirety of the waste would be a difficult shaping. Distance seemed to matter when the power was weak. In this case, he didn’t know if he would have enough strength to reach the place where he needed to be.

He shook his head. “We have to find someplace where I can help this elemental regenerate the strength he needs. Then we also need to find what happened to the Draasin Lord.”

“Do you think we can do both?”

“I don’t know.” He had protected this elemental, but to understand what his mother was doing, he thought he might need to question the elemental. Trapping the elemental within the bondar hadn’t given him a way to get the answers he needed.

Short of connecting with spirit. Unfortunately, he had a sense that the elemental wouldn’t be able to answer him.
