He attacks her.
Prest used the mental path familiar to his family, hoping Jacob was aware of it.
He is trying to draw her out. Can he do such a thing?
Prest considered that. He had been in Amia's mind. She was of the earth, as they all were, yet her gift was an affinity the rest of them could never experience.
She would feel the earth crying out, the death of the living plants as they withered in pain.
I am afraid it will be so. She will feel the earth's pain as we cannot. And she can do no other than attempt to heal it.
Go then, stop her. I have instructed Zande to hold her there until you get there, and she has bound Amia with her voice, but she says the pain in Amia is torture to see. Go quickly, Prest, and know that I will destroy this monster while you keep her safe. Whatever promises you must make to her will be kept.
