My words caused an instant silence to fall. I knew that they understood even though I hadn't said much and I was glad, because I couldn't have gone on. I laid my head on Flare’s shoulder and clung to her, dreading the thought of being alone. My friends weren't coming back. Oh God. They were dead. Their soulgems had gone into the cauldron and would be reborn in new people. Cosma’s last gift to me would be that they would be born on Earth in a short amount of time. But I would never see any of them again. Even Princess Pyra. Even Jono. My shaking grew worse and I whimpered.

The sound must have snapped Blaze out of it because she grabbed my hand and gasped. "You're freezing."
