Inside Nyxvar's private voidship, the others had already moved ahead, leaving Garion and Atlas near the rear corridor.
Rachel was not far away, but for the moment, she gave them space.
Garion leaned against the dark metallic wall and glanced at Atlas. "So."
Atlas slowly turned toward him.
Garion's grin faded a little. "It's another candidate, huh?"
Atlas was silent for a moment.
Then he nodded.
[Most likely.]
Garion's eyes narrowed. "Because of the similar path?"
[That is one reason.]
Atlas folded his tiny arms, his blue eyes unusually serious.
[A strange cultivation path. Explosive growth in a short amount of time. Different realm names. A system that seems to bypass the normal universe rules. And now Volkrath said he felt some connection between you and them.]
Garion rubbed his chin. "Yeah. That sounds familiar."
[Too familiar.]
