La typed, “Even if they capture me, they only need my power. They won’t truly hurt me.
“I outsmarted them once, and I can do it again.
“Don’t waste time. Go down p>
Her gaze was firm and unyielding, leaving no room for argument.
Still, the group kept Rhys and their strongest fighters beside her.

They also warned the crews on the other escort ships: if the rebels shifted their target, their top priority was to shield the Guide and get her to safety.
While her companions worried over her safety, Lyra’s mind turned to something else.
Tier-3S Guides wield an immensely powerful psychic shield.
Elowen, who had trained her, was not Tier-3S, so she could only teach Lyra from theory and experience.
Lyra had never tested it in practice.
She had no spirit animal or mindscape, and she had been on Core Prime, so she had avoided revealing too many abnormalities.
Now was the time to try.
Under Rhys’ tense watch, she stepped back into her private room.
Several of them took up positions outside her door and around her.
Lyra found a seat, closed her eyes, and recalled every lesson Elowen had given her.
She emptied her thoughts and let her awareness sink deeper.
Deeper still, into the dark void.
But her mind wouldn’t settle.
The horrific sights from Core Prime’s burning city lingered fresh in her memory.
Cold as it sounded, the Federation had stripped Reid and his people of their home. This retaliation was nothing more than karma.
Yet anyone would have felt compassion after seeing the helplessness and terror on the faces of those women and children.
Lyra could not reach the state Elowen had described.
She was unsure if it was the lack of a mindscape or her inability to calm her emotions.
The harder she pushed, the more agitated she grew.

She frowned and opened her eyes.
Rhys stood by the window with his back to her, brow furrowed as he tracked the fighting below.
Harlan stood right behind her.
Arthur and Gideon waited quietly outside the door.
Seeing her troubled expression. Harlan leaned in and asked softly, “What’s wrong p>
Rhys turned at the sound of his voice.
Lyra pressed her lips together.
Her eyes drifted toward the bathroom. “I’m restless. I want to take a bath
The two men exchanged a glance.
Rhys said. “Go ahead. We’ll stay right outside p>
Lyra nodded.
Putting on an act, she took a clean set of clothes and went inside, then stepped in and locked the door.
She filled the tub with cold water.
Clothes and all, she slowly lowered herself into it.
The water rose to her chest, and she gasped from the sharp chill.
This was an unorthodox trick she had thought up, a way to force her mind to refocus.
The gruesome images from the battle vanished from her thoughts, replaced by the cold pressing into her body.
Her breath grew tight and ragged.
Soon, shivers wracked her frame.
Lyra dipped her whole head under the surface, then lifted her face and tried once more.
Her body’s sharp stress response to the frigid water slowly dulled.
She felt it-she was getting there.
Rhys and Harlan stood rigid outside the bathroom door.
The running water inside faded to silence.
They kept their senses sharp, watching over Lyra while monitoring the battle outside the window, ready to protect their Guide at any sign of danger.
Then a sudden chill brushed their backs.

It felt like a soft breeze sweeping past them.
They looked down and saw a golden glow spreading forward before their eyes.
The light curved into an inverted bowl, wrapping both men inside.

In an instant, their minds surged with clarity. It was as if the purest force in the universe washed er them.
All the heavy, pent-up pain and exhaustion trapped in their bodies melted away beneath the glow
Rhys stared at Harlan in shock.
Harlan’s eyes burned with restrained excitement.
“This is her shield p>
Rhys already knew. He was stunned to witness it firsthand.
The golden shield kept expanding, flowing out of the bathroom to fill the whole room, then the entire starship. It kept spreading outward from their vessel.
Against the black backdrop of space, the golden halo blazed like a brilliant star, catching the eyes of every person nearby.
They understood immediately.
That was Lyra.
Only the sole Tier-3S Guide alive could create something hike this.
The shield’s expansion speed picked up.
Within minutes, it reached Core Prime and wrapped the whole planet inside its golden dome.
Everyone caught within the glow felt a healing wind brush over their bodies and minds. Grief and agony lifted from them all at once.
Light returned even to the eyes of Sentinels who had been on the verge of death.
The Guides were astonished to discover that the nearly depleted psychic power in their landscapes was gradually refilling like a well.
As members of the younger generation, Ayla and the others had never experienced the wide-range healing of a Tier-3S Guide’s psychic shield before.
Ignoring their personal guards’ protests, they stepped out and stared in stunned wonder toward the shield’s center-the ship where Lyra was.
Watching this unfold, Leif and the rebel commanders shook off their surprise. They shouted orders to fall
back at once.
A Guude’s shield didn’t only heal allies. Under the Guide’s conscious control, it could also target enemies.
