I woke with a start. Freuchen was already awake, his back against the cell wall watching me. The room was completely dark save for a sliver of light beneath the door... and the hundreds of tiny white dots that now coated my friend’s body.

It was weird experiencing the aurora without actually seeing it. Even in the Everwood, light filled the tree-tops, but in here, there was just the pixie dust. The nanobots swept silently over Freuchen, seeking out his wounds while he sat calmly as they worked their miracles on him, restoring his broken body bit by bit. Then the room grew warmer as a wave of heat emanated from him, as though he were suddenly racked by a fever, but Freuchen seemed perfectly comfortable. He reached across and unwound the bandage from his mutilated hand. I watched in absolute wonder as the digit slowly grew back again: first the bone, then the muscle and arteries, building upon each other like I’d seen things being made in 3-D printers. Finally, a layer of skin, pink and new and fresh.

“Just like your arm,” Freuchen said, flexing his new thumb as though it had always been attached. “Vunderful.”

I felt my own stress, aches, and pain fade. When the pixie dust finally faded away too, the room fell back into darkness. I scooted across the floor to where Freuchen sat and squeezed his arm.

“Ve need to discuss how ve are going to get ourselves off of this airship,” Freuchen said, his voice just loud enough to hear. “How many people did you see ven they brought you on board?”

“At least fifteen,” I said, thinking back. “That includes the raiding party that captured us.”

“Too many for us to fight unarmed. Did you see ver they kept their veapons?”

I shook my head, realized he couldn’t see me, and said, “No, sorry.”

“Blast! Vell, ve shall just have to find another vay off of this thing. The vun thing ve cannot allow to happen is for them to get any more information out of us.” I heard the rustle of his clothes as he shifted position. “Now, I think it’s time ve both get some rest. Ve are going to need all the strength ve can muster tomorrow.”
