Had it only been a day since he’d woken up to find himself in a twisted version of his life? His ingenious imagination had transported him to many altered realities in the past. Like a child with an imaginary friend, he’s used those worlds to escape the misery of his own. So how did he cope with the fact that one of those worlds had taken on a solid reality?

Jag shoved the constant stream of questions to the back of his mind and focused on keeping pace with Omree as they left the medical area and entered the outside corridor. He didn’t ask why four other males flanked them on each side. They were there to make sure he stayed in line. He didn’t need to look back to see where the girl was. Somehow, he knew she was close.

“Anger will extinguish the light of reason, Guardian.”

“What reason is there when I’ve got a voice in my head and insane people I don’t know messing with my life?” Jag projected his thoughts to the Warder, somewhat more comfortable with the mind communication thing than before.

“Semylyn and the people of Sitnalta are not your enemies. They are, in fact, your path of destiny. You must embrace what is, to conquer what is to come.”
