"That's good news, isn't it?"

"Yes and no. I'm worried about how much energy these spiritual communications are taking out of Lyla. Every time Nymeris needs to pass along a warning, it seems to drain her more than the last time."

"She can't. Miriam says there's nothing we can do except let the process follow its natural course. She thinks Nymeris is onto something important, something that requires this level of spiritual connection to detect."

"Any theories about what these creatures are?"
