"Connor, can you hear me," Ravyn reached over and tapped him on the chest.
His eyes were open wide, but he didn't respond.
Lareina sank to the floor, head in her hands.
Deadly silence infused the room. Ravyn looked to Josh, "Get my father, please," she whispered.
Magda lay on her side. Her soft gray hair fell about her face wise with wrinkles. Her lips turned up in a small smile. Ravyn leaned over to trace a gentle kiss across Magada's forehead, "Blessings of the Light upon you," she murmured.
