Rikki pressed her face against Nraith's leg, her hand tightening upon his upper arm. She felt his hand brush and come to a rest against her. She drew in a sharp breath as Ktal pressed heavily against her. "I'm here, Rikki," he whispered, even though he knew it was more for the sound of his voice than any actual reassurance. He knew she would follow Nraith no matter where he wanted to go.
"I'm here," he whispered again, gently touching Rikki's mind as he felt the panic begin to grow in her. She shivered beneath his body and he felt her words more than he heard them. "I'm falling....I'm falling.... don't let me fall, ..." The edge of hysteria creeping into her voice as she remembered falling from the cliff...the dream that seemed less a dream, even if only in sensation.
Her tightly closed eyes remained closed as she felt as if the world was spinning around her. Her world that crashed as Nraith fell to the ground. Her eyes shot open and she clutched at him even as Ktal tried to hold her at bay. "No, I promised to take care of him," she growled at Ktal, pushing his hands away as she knelt beside Nraith, her hand touching his face. "Nraith?" she touched his face gently, ignoring the stiffening of Ktals hand against her arm.
Ktal looked around, seeing...people...others...coming near them. That brief moment stood still as darkness enveloped them and they disappeared from sight.
