A scene from Whispers of Nowhere, intended for Chapter 15:
As they landed at the lowest point of the turret’s peak, Forneus gripping her hand tightly as she leaned over the edge, fighting back the overwhelming wave of sickness that had enveloped her, it occurred to Gwen just how fortunate they were that Phenex had provided a feint against Reeves’ forces when he did. In doing so, he had ensured that the very tower they stood on was completely unguarded—as well as the vast majority of the other towers, it seemed. She had sensed it before, but until Forneus had removed her from the hazardous battle taking place between the firebird and shadow demon, she hadn’t been able to tell exactly where the subtle tingling sensation had been coming from. All she had known was that it was either somewhere atop the cathedral, or the castle, itself.
Wiping the back of her hand across her mouth as the sickness finally passed, she cast one look downward, and nearly knocked Forneus over backward when she threw herself into his arms again, trembling.
“I really, really hate heights…” She choked out, too frightened to be embarrassed by her actions.
“You have nothing to fear,” Forneus assured her, his arms firm yet gentle, as he wrapped them around her, “I swear to you, I won’t let you fall.”
