―Sir, are you okay?

|

Vaughan was holding a tall glass of water, which Calvin happily took.
|
||||
His back hurt, and he could only remember the vague outlines of what had happened.
|
||||
|
||||
―What happened?

|

Thank you Vaughan, I owe you.
|

|

―Sir, Vaughan started hesitantly. You might need to be careful with that.
|

We don't know what Yakaterina wants, and she could be trying to trick you.
|

We don't know what Yakaterina wanted, and she could have been trying to trick you.
|

Or somehow convert you over to the Hierarchy.
|

|
||||
―I know, Vaughan.
|
||||
|
||||
Calvin sighed.
|
||||
―If I want to use this, I'll have to learn how to control it.
|
||||
Clearly it's a powerful tool, but I'm not really sure what happened.
|
||||
I think I felt the stone table and helped it become soil, somehow?
|
||||
The manual just talked about a breathing exercise, not actually doing anything.
|
||||
|
||||
Calvin stood.
|
||||
He felt okay on his feet.
|
||||
The two books were lying on top of the pile of dirt, and looked unchanged.
|
||||
He opened up the notebook, and saw he'd written down what the Voice had said to him.
|
||||
|
||||
―Vaughan, I think it was the Voice somehow.
|
||||
I wrote down that it said I could help my people, but why?
|
||||
Am I doing something wrong by wanting to help them?
|
||||
|
||||
―Do you remember anything about what you were thinking when it happened?
|
||||
|
||||
―Not really.
|
||||
It was fuzzy, images of soil and grass.
|
||||
|
||||
Vaughan gave Calvin a worried look.
|
||||
|
||||
―Calvin, are you sure we should be here?
|
||||
If we're back home, we could talk to some scholars, or if you trust what Yakaterina told you, maybe Auroklos would know more?
|
||||
But we're out of our depth, right?
|
||||
It's not just politics anymore, this is all of us yaks, and it might be irresponsible to do it alone.
|
||||
|
||||
―Auroklos was pretty clear that Mountberg was our only hope.
|
||||
Maybe the voice was trying to get me to go home to help the people there?
|
||||
Unless it wanted me to go to Mountberg?
|
||||
Argh!
|
||||
|
||||
―Sir, we're not going to figure this out right now.
|
||||
You need to rest a minute, and we'll have to figure out what our options even are.
|
||||
We'll talk to the chief and see how far away Mountberg will be, and make a decision then.
|
||||
Sound good?
|
||||
|
||||
―Yeah, thanks Vaughan.
|
||||
Sounds good to me.
|
||||
|
||||
―I'll make sure you get some privacy, get some rest and I'll see you soon.
|
||||
And please don't try anything else from that book.
|
||||
|
||||
Vaughan left the room, and Calvin tried his best to quiet his troubled thoughts as he drifted into a light nap.
