It was a sphere of bright connections which cradled the Lonely Star, the skiffs, and the sea and air surrounding them. Now along the long axis, Tulë connected all the minds in a tightly focused line and held them gently. A small feeling of surprise came through from Mithadan but was quickly smoothed over.

Veritas engaged the crystal, and the elf felt the excitement and apprehension of the others flare in colors along the link. But it held!

He felt the skiff beneath him rock gently in the waves as he released the connections, and a warm breeze ruffle his hair, now damp with sweat.

We did it! came the cry from Veritas. Shall we shift back now?

A moment if you will! I need to catch my breath! Then to the others, a gentle sending, You did well! How do you fare?
