“Who are you?” I demanded, lifting Kalder’s un-moving body in my arms.
“My name is Tula. I’m a friend of Kalder” she said. I grinded my teeth at the pressure of my broken arm.
“Do you need any help with him?” Tula asked as I carried him to the infirmary.
“My masters once told me to embrace pain, for it makes a stronger warrior” I said as I laid Kalder down on the bed. I clicked my comm. unit.
“Guys, get to the infirmary right now. It’s Kalder” I said quickly. A minute later, the team was standing with Kalder. I felt Wally’s hand rest on my shoulder. Even though he was with Artemis now, I knew he still had small feelings for me. That gave me an idea.
“ldiota!” I exclaimed aloud. The team looked at me.
“I can try to heal him with my powers” I explained. I concentrated on the moon.
“Despierta mi amor, despierta” I whispered, white moon energy leaking onto his body. Nothing happened.
“Brillo y el resplandor de rayo de luna, que brille tu poder, hacer lo contrario del reloj, traer de vuelta lo que una vez era el mío. Curar lo que se ha visto afectado, cambiar el diseño de los destinos, salvo lo que se ha perdido, recuperar lo que alguna vez fue mío, lo que fue la mía...” I said in spanish. Nothing happened. I shouted in frustration. Tears burned my eyes. Then I thought of my dream.
“Tula, exactly what were you doing before this happened?” I demanded
“Uh, we were talking about my break-up with Garth. Then… he just fell. I screamed and you came running” she said
“Before he fell, did you hear anything…odd, or did anything seem …out of place?” I demanded
“I thought I heard someone whisper… no. It can’t be right” she murmured
“Whisper what!?” I demanded
“I swear I heard someone whisper ‘Die anchor, die!’” she said quietly
“What type of voice said it? Was it raspy, or smooth? I need to know!” I asked
“I-I can’t remember” she stuttered
“You have to! If you want Kalder to have a chance of living, you must!” I shouted
“Smooth. It was as smooth as a well worn rock” Tula confirmed. I actually felt all the blood leave my face. I felt extremely faint and I swayed on my feet. Robin and Wally steadied me.
“Oh Lord no. Why him? Why did you pick him?!” I whispered
“Night, what’s wrong. Why can’t you heal Kalder?” Robin asked
“Wally, you remember the thing I told you about my master’s master? Well, it carried a grudge. And took it out on Kalder” I explained
