Nodding, Brother Willim says, “Exactly the same.”
“But,” argues James, “we must do something.”
By this time the rest of the camp has awakened and stands in a semicircle around them. “I heard about something like this before,” Scar says. “It was back in…”
“Not now Scar!” exclaims James.
“Yes now!” he retorts back which draws everyone’s attention. “I know you guys don’t believe half the things we say but you need to listen now.” Beside him Potbelly nods in agreement.
“What is it?” asks James in exasperation. He turns back to his friend on the ground all the while keeping an ear to what Scar is saying.
“There is a way for you to help him,” he insists. “You need to understand what is being sent and why.”
“How is he to do that?” asks Jiron.
“You must join him in his dream,” replies Scar.
At that James turns and looks at him. “I can’t do that.”
“There is a way,” he tells him. “When a person is within a dream or vision sent by a god or being of power, it is possible to join them in the dream.”
“How?” James asks.
Scar glances around to the others before retuning his gaze to James. “Take hold of his hand and send magic without guidance into him,” he explains. “Whatever power has hold of him will latch onto it. If at that instance you push your awareness into Miko along with the magic, you will be drawn in.”
“How do you know this?” asks Jiron.
“Just believe me,” Scar insists, ignoring Jiron’s question. “You need to get in there.”
James sees the sincerity in Scar’s eyes. Turning to Brother Willim he asks, “Is it possible?”
“I don’t know,” he admits. “As part of the Hand of Asran, we were more into the practical use of Asran’s power. We didn’t spend much time on theory. It sounds plausible though.”
