The journey back to the Natives' city felt rather uncomfortable to Kace. It was as if a shadow had descended on the captain's cabin where Terrell had locked himself away with Phillip. Kace sighed as he watched the desert dunes pass by at high speed.
"Kace, aren't you worried about what's going on in there?" Josh asked as he strode over.
Kace glanced at the wraith with a helpless expression. "Even if I was, what could we do? He's definitely out of our league."
"For now, maybe." Josh laughed as he propped his elbows on the wooden guardrails. "Still, it's strange the way he became so protective of that Hero."
Kace nodded in silence while stealing a glance towards the cabin door. "It was, but we don't know the reason. I've thought about it, but the only guess I can come up with is that Phillip's wellbeing might have an effect on breaking Rysa's curse."
