“Get to high ground!” I shouted.
It’ll be over, Anakin!
I hope this leads to them ending up at Palanquin.
Bentley leaped for the side of a building in an alleyway, scrabbled for a hold, then leaped to the building face behind him, attempting the zig-zag movement that the dogs had done so many times before.
Oh yeah, that makes more sense.
Except he wasn’t as agile as the other dogs, and I suspected he wasn’t as practiced at it as Brutus, Judas and Angelica had been. Added to that, he was carrying a heavy burden. One of his paws went through a window, he slipped, dug his claws into the wall and shifted to climbing the wall instead.
Whoops.
As long as he still gets up, I suppose that works.
It was too slow. The water turned crimson beneath him, and then the vapor began to rise, faster than Bentley was climbing.
Damn.
“Tattletale,” I breathed.
I massed thick clusters of bugs between them and the vapor, while Regent and Shatterbird followed Sirius and the others.
Yeeah, I doubt this one can be stopped by the bugs. At least it might give us some idea of what the vapor does, though.
It was enough to buy them time, but that meant precious little. No matter how much I pressed the bugs together into an airborne barrier, the vapor made its way through. Worse, the mist was rising to either side of them, approaching the top of the building.
Helped more than I would’ve expected, at least.
They reached the rooftop and Bentley heaved himself over the edge. They hopped off his back as they reached solid ground, and Tattletale stepped over to the corner of the roof to watch the rise of the red vapor.
Careful. You really don’t want to get into contact with the least bit of that.
It was only a floor beneath them.
Trickster pointed at the top of a building nearby, then looked up at me.
You want Taylor to land there?
I gathered my bugs there, again, pressing them together. Trickster looked increasingly impatient as the bugs massed, and the vapor reached the edges of the roof.
When they’re pressed together like this, can Trickster use them as a mass to replace people or other things with?
