"They grabbed her and took her. They threw her is some... thing.... with big wheels and huge metal doors... they took her... we lost her..." his body shook and he clutched his chest as he cried. I'd never seen my friend so weak.
"Tanix." He looked at me. "We'll get her back. I promise. We'll find a way." I told him. He nodded, and drifted off to a restless sleep. Theus was quiet. I lay on my back, staring up at the sky.
