Chapter 242

The first thing I did after I tried numerous times to get Aneva to communicate and failed, was to contact Zirani and let her know everything that had happened. I kept it brief as I would tell her in more detail when she got here.

She sent back a message to wait and that she was coming to the vehicle. I sent messages to the others but told them they didn't need to rush over if they were busy. Both sent over messages asking if I was sure, but I told them there didn't seem to be any immediate danger, or so I guessed from what Aneva had said.

She was quiet and nothing I did got to her to wake, and I might have thought it was on purpose, but there was something else to it. When she had spoken of the danger, she had trembled as though against invisible restraints and her thoughts had been chaotic, not to mention, many of her thoughts had been blocked, but not purposefully. It was like something was influencing her and she had no choice but to hide what she had clearly wanted to tell me.
