[quote=Jollan] "There's nothing I can do for Ander," Jared said, "He doesn't work with us, only Algon. It's one of his 'special cases'. best leave it to him." He could hear the contempt in Recoil's response.Drake started to breath lightly again after the first bead. By the second he started to stir, but he was too weak to do much. Though the land was still dying around them, its progress was slowed.The picture, Ris saw, was that of a girl that looked remarkable similar too Ander. She had the same silver hair, except longer and came down to her waist, and grey eyes that Ander did and was wearing a simple plain light blue summer dress in the picture. She was smiling, with her hands behind her back. A year was written on the back that dated to eight years ago. [/quote] Sonitus still was skeptical, however, what Jared said made sense. Best let Algon clean up his own mess. However, he made a personal note, if the mess were to spill over, he would be there to clean it up.
