Jack noticed the stillness, and for the first time in a long time he felt alone in his mind. He stopped, placing his open palm against his forehead. He tried to remember back further, and he always recalled something feeling off inside his own mind, even before he knew about Dradel, but now he felt as though his mind was his own. Jack wondered if he could still use his ability, it seemed if Dradel was gone it would be gone as well. 'Are you there?' he thought, 'Answer me, now.'<br/><br/>Thomas nodded and exited the room. He noted the looks of distress on the faces of the people here, wondering if there was really anything he could do to help. He grabbed his shield and held it aloft, saying loudly, "Your attention please! I want a few moments of your time before you all make any decisions."
