I pull my fists up and split the earth; the giant doppelgangers tumble, falling into broken heaps.

''Anger will not save you. It will not save her. ''

"I can save her!  I did!  The Glyph will keep her alive!..."

''The Glyph is what binds you. She feels what you feel. She knows...''

"No!...NO!  It's a LIE!" My lightning rakes the shambling horde.

''She knows that you are angry, that you are fighting. Does she know you are fighting yourself? ''

"I will find a way!  I will make a solution..."

''She knows. She knows that you pull your power from the Glyph. She knows it will drain her..."''

"I...can't..."

''She knows why. She knows why she is drained now, and on the floor, in pain. She knows, but her daughters do not understand...''

All is quiet. On my knees, I stare into nothing, my vision blurred. My hand covers one eye, unable to staunch the truth. I look up and blink to better see. In the distance is Tonette, kneeling, her face in her hands, her shoulders trembling.

I stand and walk to her. I put my arms around her and pull her close.

"We have to go now, Tonette,"  I say, quietly.
