“How did
you do that?” Fiona asks Robert, marvelling at the flower in her
hand.
“You
have to kind of imagine and believe,” he says, “All at the same
time.”
“It's
the reason,” the Angel interrupts, “That you've managed to do
some of the things you have, like getting into one of the archetypes.
Those places are sealed, yet you just came and went.”
“But I
didn't know what I was doing,” she replies, “I was just reacting
to all the crazy.”
“That's
the power of a wake walker,” the Raven's guide says.
“I'm
sorry,” Fiona turns to him, “Who are you?”
“This,”
the Angel replies with a flourish that encompasses the full height of
the guide. “This is one of my more effective employees.”
“Now
that we're all introduced,” Raven grumbles, “Can we just bloody
well get on with it.”
