[The call comes in unprompted. There’s an edge of strain to Kafka’s voice that’s typically absent.]

It’s Kafka. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what this is about.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[Dan Heng knows it's bad when Kafka has to call him.]

Blade.

[If there's one flaw he's kept across countless lifetimes, it's that he'll do anything to protect the people he loves. Whatever deal he has to make, he'll do.

Besides, he remembers the brief flashes of Kafka helping Blade. He has to put his trust in her right now.]

What do you need? I will help.

[adtendo]

In his past life, I used my power to keep it under control. Unfortunately, we don't have that luxury here.

[She's glad, that Dan Heng is in Blade's corner. She's glad this was the case for the Trailblazer, too.]

We team up. If we're both with him, it should keep him grounded.

["Should." She doesn't know if it will work. But it's the best bet.]

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[This is a sensible approach to the problem. One that Dan Heng can more easily agree to.]

Alright. If you don't have his address already, I can text it to you. I have regained some of my power, so I believe I can keep him in check if the demon attempts anything.

[If nothing else, he can at least keep himself and Kafka safe.]

I'll head over straight away.

[adtendo]

I would appreciate that.

[Kafka doesn't have the full extent of her power, but she'll be able to lend a hand, at least.]

There's something else. Bladie seemed worried--he told us both to run. It might not just be the demon we have to worry about. With the three of us, I'm sure it'll be fine. Safety in numbers, after all.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[Dan Heng texts her Blade's address immediately. When she says there's something else, he listens attentively.]

Hm. We'll need to look at the rest of the post to see if anyone has more information. As it stands, I'm not able to keep my human form. This usually only happens when I'm in a Spirit Realm.

[He's reminded of the reports on Atlantis, which doesn't fill him with good feelings.]
