"Where am I?"
I feel weird as I open my eyes to find Gripton sitting across from me, drinking coffee. We were in my head, in Grips library, but why was I here?
"Am I dead, old man?"
"No, of course not. If you had died, you never would have woken up. That would have been it unless someone else snagged you, but that was about as likely as it happens the first time."
"Then, I'm here just to talk?"
"Something like that, you find, for the most part out there."
"Kalita and Cable?"
I suddenly felt panic, and my adrenaline started as a sick feeling started to form in my stomach.
"They are fine, and that's what I have you here to talk about, Hyde. You didn't die, but you're going to be in bed for a day while your body heals, luckily. Nuwari has been helping you, but that's not the issue here. You could have died; everything we have worked for, no, what YOU have worked for would be for nothing."
