So they concentrated on coming up with a survival plan.
If this gets ugly, we’re going to need a way of taking the ogres out fast,
Sophie told them. Linh—can you call the water in the lake?
It’s pretty far away, Linh admitted. But I bet I could if you enhanced me.
But a wave isn’t going to do much good if Ruy’s around, Biana warned
them. He’ll just shield everyone.
What about that light-shadow thing that made Ruy flee the last attack—
do you know how to re-create that? Dex asked Tam and Wylie.
I wasn’t there, Tam reminded him. So I can only guess what Umber did
—and shadowflux is pretty unstable, so if I’m wrong, there’s no way to know
what problems it might cause.
Well . . . we’ll call that our backup plan, Fitz decided. Anyone got any
other ideas?
I can always start some fires, Marella thought quietly. But there’s a
pretty good chance I’ll burn your house down.
Another backup plan, Fitz told her. What else?
I could try transmitting to Magnate Leto, Sophie suggested. See if he
can send over any help. But . . . they might be dealing with their own mess,
since I told him where we were going and he hasn’t sent anyone to check on
us.
Yeah, and we know my mom’s there, Keefe added. So . . . that’s not good.
I’m sure it’s not, Fitz agreed.
But worrying about that wasn’t going to help anything.
I have a feeling the only way out of this is to fight, Sophie thought
quietly. We wait for Sandor and the others to catch up, and then we use
whatever weapons and training we have and hope we catch them by surprise.
And if it gets too ugly, Fitz added, we hit them with waves and fire and
whatever that shadow-light reaction is.
