Elwyn was confused - she felt the dark power, all right. It made her feel like every second, an enemy was about to jump at her. But as an elf and a healer, there was a power in her that fought back against the darkness.
Ransom and Elanor noticed out of the corners of their eyes that their friend was glowing slightly. All around her a red-gold corona shone. But when they looked straight at her, it was gone. They continued walking forward. Elwyn, still glowing, stumbled on a rough patch of floor. Ransom reached out to steady her. As his hand touched her shoulder, he felt a warmth running up his arm, driving out the chill of the darkness.
