Chapter 614: The Door Between Worlds
The connection opened, and four people arrived in the middle of a room on the far side of a world.
There was no flare, no tear in the air, and nothing that pressed against the isolation Leon had set inside the residence walls. One moment the floor was empty. The next, Seraphine, Ira, Vyra, and Loriel stood upon it in ordinary Moonfall grey and blue, all four motionless while their bodies adjusted to the pressure of a higher world.
Seraphine moved first.
She crossed the room without a word and caught him by the shoulders. Her hands went immediately to the left one, tracing the place where a chain had torn through it and a spear had later struck the same wound before Leon twisted the weapon away with Space.
"It healed," Leon said.
"I am checking whether it healed properly."
Her thumb moved along the joint and across his collarbone. Then she turned his face toward the lamp and studied his eyes.
"You have lost weight."
