Tom nodded in response, and rose into the air. the spiritual energy he surrounded Dirk in would allow Tom to in the air without much trouble. they soon went higher until they were above several buildings, and he made sure to not rise too high, otherwise they would be too high and probably have trouble spotting where the place Dirk's friend was. he hoped that they were high enough to be above the breathable chemicals and safe from the radiation that was all over the quarantine zone.

"so where is your friend? are they in a building or are they stuck in the main streets of the zone?" he asked Dirk as they began to fly over the quarantine zone. he hoped that it wasn't too far because flying was easy and didn't use too much energy, but keeping someone else in the air along with himself took a good amount of energy. if he got the hero to his destination and was too low on spiritual energy in his reserves then he would be pretty much useless.
