As we rose to our feet, I saw Brady leaned forward, bracing himself on his knees, clearly out of breath. He rose to a standing position as we did. “The next time I say, ‘We need to move’ or ‘Get down’ - DO SO.” Even though his tone was harsh, I could see why. He’d anticipated that something was off in the string and was trying to protect us. When we fell through the wall, he couldn’t follow us. The only ones that can walk through the walls of the string unharmed are Landen and Willow, for some strange reason. Brady had to run to where he thought Landen was, and luckily he found him near the passages of Esterious on his way back with Madison and the others. Apparently, in a glimpse Landen could ‘see’ what was wrong without Brady saying a word, which saved time. A second later...I wouldn’t be here to be scolded by Brady. Landen looked over Draven and me carefully. “I don’t believe her,” he commented flatly. “You don’t believe her, or you know she’s not telling the truth?”
