We watch Indy as she stands at the edge of the cove. Water laps around her ankles as she inhales.

"I can't do this. I wasn't made to do this."

"Try and concentrate," Klaus mutters while frowning at Xavi.

"I know you mean well, but telling someone to concentrate really does not help them concentrate." She curls her hands up into fists and stares out at the water. "Are you even sure it was me?"

"It only slowed when you were standing in the window. It didn't do that for anyone else."

"And it rose to catch you," Klaus adds.

"It did?" She sounded sceptical.

"Indy, you can do this. Just like when the walls were going to crush us."

"No pressure." She blows out her cheeks. "You want the sea to retreat, right?"

"Just enough so we can get around the side of the cliff."

She holds out a hand and beckons for me to come forward. 'Maybe the bond will help.' She links me.

Stepping into the water, I grab her outstretched hand. Taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes. Nothing happens at first. As the minutes passed, I wondered if I had been wrong; maybe she hadn't stopped the crashing waves, but that would mean someone else had. I was about to drop her hand when the sea began to retreat from around my ankles, pulling back on itself as though it was being sucked out.

Looking at Indy, I see that her golden eyes are wide with a slight glaze present. Her brow creased up in concentration. Her soul is incredibly bright to look at, as though someone had just switched on their Christmas lights.

Souls were becoming more and more unpredictable.

The water continues to pull back until there is a gap of a couple of metres around the edge of the cliff.

"We need to move," Klaus mutters as he steps onto the wet sand.
