The Fire initiate with him added, “I don’t know if we can put a shield so high—”

“Lower it, then!” cried Briar, pointing to the ships. “Here come some more!”

“Don’t let those things strike the wall!” barked Skyfire.

By then the snap of the catapults’ release had reached the defenders’ ears. All three sets of mages, seeing these balls were aimed at the wall, called on their magic again.

Their metal and stone devices began to glow. Tris and Briar could see washes of silvery light rising ten feet higher than their heads as well as dropping out of sight, to cover the stone beneath them.

“The wall won’t hold?” Tris asked in a tiny voice. She was trembling all over, vibrating in Briar’s grip.

“We don’t know,” whispered Niko.

The air slammed around their heads, causing nosebleeds. The mages lurched, but kept their feet without letting go of the metal they used to guide their power. Dirt and rock sprayed into the air. Most stayed on the other side of the barrier, but enough came over it to give everyone and everything a thorough dusting.

“They blew two holes in the ground,” a blue-robed dedicate called when there was quiet again. “Big ones.”

“You children, off the wall, now,” ordered Skyfire. “Tris, think about what I said to you. The rest of you, spot-shields only - block each of them as they come in!”

“Go on,” Niko told them. “I’ll see you in a while.”

“Come on,” Briar whispered in Tris’s ear. He got an arm around her waist, to steady her. Tris’s shakes were much worse. “Another one of those and you’ll faint for certain.”

Nodding weakly, she let him help her down the stairs.
