"Yes, this is the Chamber of Bonds. Storms, they must actually be worried."

“For good reason,” Sykel snorted.

Lerac shook his head. "A trap, probably."

“Ha! When Evalyn might spontaneously combust and take them all with her?” She looked out at the Finn, amused. “Very funny.”

One of the Aelfinn spoke, voice sounding annoyed. "You who have reached the Chamber of Bonds. For what do you bargain?"

“To fix his soul.” Haly grabbed TAArons shoulder with her free arm.

"Careful." Wynn hissed. "We should let Nameless lead this; he knows how to deal with them." I hope.

Haly stayed silent, as Wynn was probably right, and waited for Nameless to proffer the gem thing.

Nervous, TAAron nudged Nameless. "Show them the thing."

“Tell us!” Hay was panicking. Just a little.

Wynn had an inkling of what he was going to do.

"Nope. No way. We're not doing this again. No heroic self-sacrifice or any crap like that. We have other options."

"I-look." Nameless sighed, collecting his thoughts. "I'll give up my ability to channel the Power. It's not like I've been using it for good purposes. Honestly, It's fine." No. I am not going to let you sacrifice your life, Tors. Not when there's another way.

"No! You can't do that! Not for me."

Lerac stood back, looking solemn.

I've already explained this to you. I have failed. This is the best thing I can do.

But who knows what that will do to you?

Wynn thought for a second. "What if we each gave a little? Combined, it would equal in value, but nobody would lose as much overall. Would that be acceptable?"

“What!” Haly gasped. “But you’re our most powerful person!” She took a deep breath, trying to hold down the tidal wave of emotion before it became… something else.

Then it clicked. “I should give away my Finding. It’s been nothing but trouble anyway,” she offered, trying to keep the quiver out of her voice.

TAAron shook his head vehemently. "No. None of you... none of you can do that. I'll think of something to offer."

"No! No, Haly. We can work that out. You aren't giving that up."
