The blast hurtled toward us like a wrathful comet, tearing through the very fabric of the mental sky.
"Move!" I screamed, but I wasn't fast enough.
Kaelos stood up from the sand and stepped in front of me with a roar, thrusting out his palm. Suddenly, a dome of silvery energy erupted around us, forming just in time to absorb the brunt of Zane's lightning.
The impact rattled my bones but not as much as seeing Kaelos performing such a feat.
My ears rang as if the entire ocean had screamed at once. I stumbled, catching myself on one knee.
"Have you always been able to do that?" I asked, struggling to catch my breath as I stared at his back. "Or, would that only work within this mental space?"
He breathed heavily as well as he turned around to face me, a wry smile on his face. "I thought you did that. All I could think about was shielding you from the blast."
