Standing at the broken bridge that separated them from their goal, Kevan sighed, as she rubbed her forehead, trying to figure out how the hell they were going to get from where they were, to where they needed to be.
“Okay, how do we get back across?” Kevan asked.
“Swim?” Kaitlyn suggested from the other side.
“I don’t think so,” Wren told her.
“We need another suggestion, Kait,” Kevan told her.
“You don’t have a lot of choices,” Kaitlyn argued. “If you know of a better way, then you tell me.”
“I could shimmer us across,” Marcus stated.
“But what about the goofy things that magic does here in Elden; couldn’t that be a problem?” Kevan asked.
“It could be, but it’s better than standing around here trying to figure out how to get across this body of water,” Marcus stated.
“Kaitlyn’s right, it’s not like we haven’t been wet already, we could swim.” Kevan told them. “That way you save your energy, just in case.”
“In case of what?” Marcus wanted to know. “You haven’t needed me this whole time. I would have been better off if I had gone with Caleb and the others.”
“Marcus, we haven’t needed your fighting skills, but you have been very helpful with other things, and don’t you forget that,” Kevan told him. “Now, if we have to swim, we have to swim. I really didn’t want to get wet, but I don’t see any other way to get out of here. Unless someone else has a suggestion, I mean unless you can spot another way out of this place, I would say that we are going back the same way we came in.”
“Back through the tunnels, yeah lovely.” Kaitlyn moaned. “Are you sure there isn’t another way to go? We’ll be heading right into the guards that were coming after us.”
Kevan looked to both Marcus and Joseph. “Do you have any ideas?” she asked them.
“Only that we had better make a decision quickly,” Joseph warned, as he looked around like he was feeling something.
“Joseph?” Kevan pushed.
“Move!” he shouted, as everything exploded around them.
