The first spatial shard rested in Emery's palm, humming faintly.
Around the great stone table, six Khaos seeds sat in meditation: the five ex prisoners and Veyarel, all connected to him through the Khaos Voidweave. Only one seed was missing.
Soltz.
Emery had heard nothing from the old man since South Star Fortress. No signal, no flicker of energy through their connection. Whether Soltz had been chained, sealed, or worse, he simply didn't know.
He pushed the thought aside and closed his eyes.
The shard began to dissolve into pure energy, and Emery allowed it to flow into his body.
But he wasn't using his time merely to absorb its energy. Through the weave, he extended his consciousness into the minds of his seeds, carefully exploring their accumulated memories and knowledge.
Dorren's mind opened first.
