Kaleadora furrowed her brow. "It seems to me, Nashy," she said quietly, "that we've fallen into a situation of far greater importance than we can perceive yet." She sighed, and ed her ears up in the failing afternoon light; in the woods across the river, the boy was yelling in fright. "I hope that he is Cheysuli; that they're not all mistaken, that is. Either way, another creature is hurting... Possibly dying, by this stranger's talk. We can't just leave-- suppose it dies, and the boy is Cheysuli? They'll have hurt him for no good reason. I think we should help." She glared stubbornly in the general direction of the boy, but then her expression softened and she tilted her ears back, looking up at her sister. "But it's whatever you say, Nashy."

Jeffrey stopped , cradling the pale Alexis in his arms, breathing quickly with fear. His eyes darted back and forth; the voice sounded quite near, but he couldn't see anyone.
"I'll protect you," he whispered to Alexis, his eyes narrowing in determination. "Don't be afraid."
"Go, demon," he called out, surprised at the strength in his voice, for his knees were shaking. "Leave us be! I hold no strife with you. Let us pass." He set his jaw firmly, holding carefully to Alexis.

Gwenneveire lay quite still. Her chest was barely moving; every breath was a terrible, excruciating labor, and her mind was far away. But her will was strong; she clung stubbornly to life, holding onto the thought of her boy and the hope that someday they would be united as Cheysuli and liren. She whimpered softly.
