Chapter 16: The Wind’s VoiceNo, no. That couldn’t be it.

  Better not to overthink it.

  Right now, the focus was getting to the vilge.

  She said we’d reach it by sundown, and that the wind had told her.

  Did “wind” mean something different in this world? Because no matter how I looked at it, that was way too weird. But again, my common sense didn’t apply here.

  Actually—wait a minute.

  “Iris,” I started, gncing at her. “When you say the wind told you… does that mean, when I was in danger, the wind told you that too?”

  She gave a simple nod. Yes.

  I stared at her.

  Isn’t that just… way better than my skill?

  Wind was everywhere. Everywhere. Meanwhile, my range was tiny in comparison.

  Was my ability irrelevant now?

  Thinking about it just made me depressed.

  I shook my head and sighed. Forget it. Stick to the pn.

  I needed to learn more about this world—and fast.
