Sumi didn't want to tell him that they hopefully wouldn't be back, but she was thankful at least Alexander had caught himself before drinking the offered water. Kade let them all climb and was the last up the ladder.

At the top they found themselves on exactly what they would have expected. It was a flat tower top with crenellation. It felt oddly familiar to each of them in their own way, but they could not have explained in words what it was that made that tower top so familiar. Perhaps a dream. 

Sumi hopped up on top of the crenellation and paced around the edge of it. She walked carefully looking up and down. Her hands seemed to be questing for something as if she were in a dark unknown room. 

Christopher was the first to see it, Hannah, however, seemed distracted with something else entirely. The air around Sumi's fingers started to burn golden. The heat from what could only be considered the noonday sun that had baked them all dry as they had climbed the tower seemed to be saturated with that gold. The air they breathed in turned to ice and a number was clear.
