Chapter 63

The journey back to the camp with Elder Kaylin was completely silent. We were all tired in more ways than just physically. Sandra's anger had faded and now she just looked like she wanted to pass out. Misty looked about the same though for entirely different reasons. She'd just gorged herself and her body was probably trying to force her to fall asleep. I wasn't in much better condition. I had not used much aether, but that didn't mean that my body was tired. I was still at the first level of aether infusion so I didn't have the benefits someone like Kaylin had.

Luckily none of us had actually sustained any injuries, which I was very thankful for, although it also left me worried. We'd been saved by Elder Kaylin. Without him showing up we wouldn't have made it and despite being grateful, I couldn't help but be angry at my own weakness, even though there was a good reason for it.
