"This morning," I said quickly. She looked so happy. I could see that indistinct smile on her face. "Why?!" I wanted to laugh at his funny expression. My encounter with Naar made me think of the battered little soldier candidate in the Azalea room. "Naar, you know that little soldier who replaced me while I was away?"
"Yes?"
"I met him when I got to Camp Alpha, but his condition was terrible. What happened while I was gone?" maybe if I had asked Azalea she would never have answered, but I had high hopes for Naar that she would tell me the truth.
"He came when you left yesterday" " I had expected that to happen. Shashin and the boy went up the hill as you normally would, but suddenly the creature attacked them.
"Shashin?"
"Everything is fine, he used his ability to escape by escaping to another time dimension with the child. Zie moved quickly to save the child, before they attacked them even worse".
