^Keep her body safe, don't destroy it, don't bury it, just leave it in the snow.^ Arad immediately shifted back with Tyal and jumped away on his own.
He didn't have that much time to explain more. If he wasted another second, the silver umbilical cord would escape his sight.
Arad already has a guess about what that cord is. It is the silver thread that ties a person's soul to their body. Once someone dies, their soul leaves their body, and that cord snaps.
Zenia's body was here, fighting Tyal. That means on the other side of the thread is her soul, trapped by the Cronos Raptur.
Even in his tiny humanoid form, Arad was still fast. The cord got pulled away at a blinding speed, but Arad was faster, running after it like its shadow.
The silver thread flew through the chasm's caverns, and Arad was running down the walls after it. He jumped from one protruding stone to the next one, stepping through the void whenever he needed to turn to avoid losing momentum.
