She turned her focus back to maintaining the light, beginning to be under strain. All of the light and energy was coursing through her, traveling like blood does through the heart.

Beads of sweat rolled off of her face, and she was careful not to shine the light too close to Mercury.

A boat loomed into view, and Eddie quickly had the light fade away, hoping that it would look like the natural fading of a flare. A tiny search and rescue vessel gently came up alongside the raft, hauling Mercury and then Eddie inside.
