That answer simply boggled Dhianeila. Why would Bellcross be weakened? Was it some sort of anomaly, perhaps, from he and Age being there? Or did Bellcross's power worry Stacy? But why would a ship needing them to fight do something like that to a being so powerful?

"Weaker..." she muttered, hoping nothing worse would come of that. "But, he's still here, with you, isn't he?" She could still feel him there, but Age was probably a lot more in-tune with what was happening to the behemoth than she was.
