Rue nodded slowly. "I need to go," she said abruptly. "Not...not physically. But there's...I can barely feel my power. There's a place, the world of dreams. There is someone there who might be able to help me figure it out." She paused. "I should have been able to fight them."

"Okay. I'll... see you then?" He managed a weak smile. He was still glowing faintly golden, and the skin itself seemed to let out some light from beneath. It was like he was fading away.

She smiled faintly. “Let’s figure this out before I go, then. I can hold on for that long.” She ignored the quiet at the back of her mind, ignored the lack of the power that had always been there, waiting for her to call.
