Rescue

They fell, but Sarai refused to accept it. She looked around in confusion as she tumbled through the dark air. She knew it wouldn't be long before she slammed into the ground. Before she felt her bones breaking along with Tiafa’s.

But there was that glow. It seemed brighter. Warmth wrapped around her.

As though that light was trying to tell her everything was going to be okay despite all evidence to the contrary. The glow was the bright green that matched what she’d seen out in the Ghost Fields.

Sarai thought she could almost see figures in that green glow. Like the hint of the dead moving through the mist in the Ghost Fields.

And with that glow Sarai felt herself slowing. She looked in astonishment as the glow moved out and surrounded Tiafa. She stared at Sarai with equal astonishment.

Sarai wasn’t knocking anything that was slowing their fall, but it was a shock.

This had to be magic. The thought terrified her as much as it excited her.

This sort of thing was supposed to manifest far younger. The people who were going to be Chosen for the witch school were always obvious, and they were always sent off to their own special lessons early on. She’d never heard of anyone manifesting this late in life.

She’d just come of age, damn it. She’d expected to be sent off to the armies to die in the name of a conflict she didn’t quite understand fighting the twisted armies of a woman who made her dizzy every time she thought of her.

She never thought something like this would happen to her. She never thought she would manifest. She shouldn’t be manifesting this late in life.

Yet here she was floating through the air proving to be one hell of an outlier. This wasn’t the magic from the Ghost Fields, and it certainly wasn't some old weapon left behind from before Choikal’s fall.

No, this was all her. Sarai was making this happen. Somehow. Impossibly. But it was happening.

Those ghostly hands moving in the glow reached out for them. Tiafa tried to struggle when she realized what was reaching for her, but they held with a firmness that wasn’t to be denied. She looked at Sarai, her eyes wide, and then they rolled into the back of her head as she passed out.

The dead passed in front of Sarai. Skeletal creatures in mist that reached out and pulled her up even though they weren’t attached to anything themselves.

They moved up. Instead of falling they floated towards the hole created by their fall through the floorboards. They moved over the jagged edges and the creatures in the mist placed them down lightly by the window where this all had started.

Sarai looked around. Shook her head. Damn. Talk about a surprise!

Tiafa fell back against the wood that had so treacherously betrayed them. Her breath came in deep ragged gasps, but she was still passed out. Not for long, though.

Her eyes shot open. They were wide and filled with the terror of the dead.
