Mountain Echoes (The Walker Papers) - Plot & Excerpts
No matter what was happening, I simply could not get there fast enough. I could not throw magic that far, not without at least being able to see my target. I could not do less than try. I whispered, “Renee,” aloud, and for the first time tried to trigger time-shift magic on purpose. I had done it before, inadvertently. Done it at Morrison’s home, in fact, and therefore his presence at my side boosted my confidence. I had thrown my spirit forward, gone out of body to see what was happening in a room I couldn’t get into. I still had no recollection of how my body had caught up to that passage of distance. It had just snapped into focus, catching up somehow, and in retrospect I thought I’d done something a little like folding a square of time. A tesseract. If Mrs Who could do it, so could I. I cut free from my body. Distance was irrelevant in the spirit world. It was all about expectations, there. One moment I was beside Morrison and the next I was beside Aidan, whose body language was pure last stand: they were going down, or he was.
