He was banged up for sure, the hellhound stepping on him really not helping matters. But he was trying to wake up, knowing his child was in danger. John moved his arm a little, fighting to get up as he said weakly “Chas…take me…to the opening…” The wolf stood next to her and said “it knows we can take it. But we can’t let it run. We must close the break in the line. We need the mage to finish what he started” they could hear the hound walking around, sticking to the shadows.
