She sat with her back to us, staring at a mountain range far in the distance. Yorn and I made small talk about the birds, but my mind was on Kasha, wondering what she was thinking. She was the Traveler from Eelong. We needed her. Eelong needed her. Heck, Halla needed her. I wished I knew how to convince her of that. When she finally did speak, I was surprised at her question. \"How many territories are there?\" she asked. \"Ten in all,\" I said. \"At least that's what I've been told. They're all part of Halla.\" \"Explain to me what halla is,\" she said. It was an order more than a question. I didn't know why she suddenly had this interest, but if she was willing to listen, I was ready to talk. \"The way it was told to me, Halla is everything. Every time, every place, every person and creature that ever existed. It all still exists.\" \"And you understand that?\" she asked. \"Well, not entirely,\" I answered honestly. \"But you're willing to risk your life and the lives of those around you to protect Halla from Saint Dane?\" Good question. I'd asked myself the same question more than once. \"I wasn't at first,\" I began. \"Far from it. I didn't want any part of Travelers or flumes and especially of Saint Dane. But since then I've been to a bunch of territories and seen the evil he's capable of.\" Kasha scoffed and said,\"Evil? You're a fool, Pendragon. A tang is evil. What possible evil could a gar cause that's worse than that?\" \"I'll tell you,\" I said. \"He's killed more people than I want to count, all in the name of creating chaos. He fueled a war on Denduron and tried to poison all of Cloral. Then he nearly crushed three territories at once, my home territories of Earth. But each time the Travelers stopped him. Until Veelox. We failed on Veelox. An entire civilization is going to collapse, millions will die, all because we failed. And Saint Dane wil be there to pick up the pieces. Or step on them.\" \"It's all mildly interesting,\" she said calmly. \"But like I said before, it has nothing to do with me. I don't care.\" That's when I snapped. Okay, I admit, maybe I should have been cool, but Kasha's total lack of concern had finally gotten to me. I jumped to my feet and said, \"Well, you'd better start!\" \"It's all right, Pendragon,\" Yorn said calmly. \"Relax.\" \"Relax?\" I shouted, getting more amped up by the second. \"Why? So I won't upset Kasha? She should be upset. People have died fighting Saint Dane. People I've loved, people she's loved.\" I looked right at Kasha and said, \"You don't care? I'll tell you what I don't care about. I don't care that your life is a mess. Sorry, it's true. You've got way bigger problems coming, kitty cat. You want to pretend like none of this affects you? Fine. You're wrong. If we fail, Eelong will crumble and everything you care about will crash along with it. And whether you like it or not, you're a Traveler. So why don't you just grow up and accept it!”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "D.J.
