Kriki's Gift, Chapter 29, Reading 4


The excitement builds as the release of 
Kriki's Gift, Book Two of the Geometry of Power 
draws near.

Kewero was also part of the joining for she'd taken her place in the crystal cave and was intimately aware of their efforts for their connection caused a visible rhythm in the pulsating lights in the cave. The rhythm amplified her perception of the network, but she didn't join in with the chorus of power. She needed to see more than just the activities of the Valkea. There were other sources of evil in the world, and she needed to keep a close watch on them too. Vetlok had tried to draw upon the powers of the evil seed during his battle with Flindra and it was possible the Valkea might try to link with others to increase her powers. Kewero waited in watchful attentiveness so she could alert the Champions to any other danger.
Leitho sensed the psychic joining of the Champions as well as Kewero's attentive overview of the entire situation, but he remained more detached than any of them. Sannhet filtered his discernment of the Spirit's pulse so it wasn't as sharp and he had the distinct impression that he needed to remain somewhat distant so he could be a contact to the soldiers around him. The Champions were closely focused on the Valkea; Kewero was one step further away so she could see the activities of more than the Darkness beneath Muluk's Pass. He was one layer more distant yet and would be aware of the human scale of this battle. Thus, they were all ready to act in their assigned positions as soon as the Valkea surfaced.
