'Cast a smaller net with your thoughts,' Aiden cautioned, gripping Rigan's shoulders more firmly. 'Just you, just this moment, right here. Breathe. Focus. Feel.' Rigan strained to quell his fears and still the barrage of images crossing his mind's eye, each more horrific than the last. He tried to focus on the warmth of Elinor's hands, the strength in Aiden's hold on his shoulders, the pull of the muscles in his legs as he sat cross-legged on the hard floor. Breath in. Out. In. Out.
Scourge, Gail Z. Martin
