All eyes turned toward Williams as the river raged and the sun continued to sink. At length he set down his rifle and eased the backpack from his shoulders. "Just one," he said, retaking up his weapon. "Something I was planning on doing when we reached Barley, anyway." He looked at Sheila, knowing that if anyone tried to stop him it would be her. "See, a mistake was made when we left Ank behind-a mistake I've been trying to reconcile ever since Lonepine.

All eyes turned toward Williams as the river raged and the sun continued to sink. At length he set down his rifle and eased the backpack from his shoulders. "Just one," he said, retaking up his weapon. "Something I was planning on doing when we reached Barley, anyway." He looked at Sheila, knowing that if anyone tried to stop him it would be her. "See, a mistake was made when we left Ank behind-a mistake I've been trying to reconcile ever since Lonepine.

He paused as drop of rain flecked his nose and the clouds rumbled gently overhead. "Surely you can feel it, just as I do. The feeling that ... we're being tested. That the Flashback was not just an apocalypse in the physical sense. It was an apocalypse in the spiritual sense. That there's more at play here than dinosaurs and strange lights in the sky-aliens, whatever-that the battle has now been joined by something else entirely. Something, I don't know-" "Dear God, he's going to say it," protested Peter. "Yes, yes, I am," said Williams rapidly, and added: "Something divine. And I guess what I'm trying to tell you all now, especially you, Sheila, and you, Luna, is that ... well, I'm being called to go find Ank."
