"Not permanently," Eric added calmly.
That stopped the spiral of panic immediately.
"What do you mean not permanently?" Elder Thomas asked.

"I think there is a faster way," Sera said.
Several heads turned toward her at once, surprise flickering across their faces.
She turned to Eric. "You can reach him."
Understanding flickered behind his eyes almost immediately. Of course she would think of that. Of course she would remember the strange, powerful connection they had felt before. He nodded once.
Without hesitation, he pulled Sera into his arms.
