After he'd stepped into the pond, reality had simply blinked out of existence around him, taking any sense of what was happening outside of his body along with it. But on the inside, he was plummeting in all directions at once. Or at least he was, until his perception of that vanished, too.

"I felt something else, too. I can sense his distance, and his pain…worse than it has ever been. He's drowning in it." Yamm slid his hand down Rowan's arm to clasp his hands between his own.

"The world he has created there is not meant for me. It's meant for you. It's not about what I saw just now…it's about what I felt. And I felt you everywhere."

"Of course. You already know the answer, but if you need me to verify it for you, I will. Just try to contain your concern for me this time. I would prefer you give it all to my son."

"And I'm eternal. You know that." Yamm chuckled and shook his head. "Really, Rowan…your temperamental outbursts never fail to amuse me."
