A hand landed on my shoulder, almost ripping the soul out of my body, and pulled me back. I stared at his face with relief although I knew what was coming. How had he come back so fast without using magic?
"What were you thinking?" he asked sternly. "Have you lost your mind?"
"There was something I needed to know," I said after a moment, gulping with relief as I lay my head on his lap. "The fact that we are on this strange land which has too many casualties... there must be a reason."
"When you don't follow the rules, that is exactly what happens. We aren't allowed to use any superpower and must depend purely on logic, and perhaps, intuition."
"Then how did you come back so fast without having teleported?"
"I have my human ways of doing things without the sight or hearing of anyone, even at a hair's breadth away from me."
