The Rejected Healer's Retribution
"Will you let the Core die? Will you allow the Shifters to become nothing?"
Elara looked at the pulsing red Heart. She felt the "Synthesis" within her-the bridge between the human and the wolf. She realized the Core didn't need to be controlled. It needed Healing.
The Healing of the Heart
Elara dropped her spear. She knelt before the obsidian Heart and placed her hands on the cold, vibrating stone.
"Kael, give me the Origin," she instructed.
Kael, still dealing with the effects of the electrical shock, crawled to her side. He placed his hands over hers. The last of Fenris's mist flowed through Kael, through Elara, and into the Core-Prime.
