The Ninth Prince finished his warning and turned toward the sleeping cabin. Even as he walked, he kept glancing back at Ethan, clearly trying to read his expression.
The little brat was obviously hoping to see Ethan fail. 'Tch. Little punk.' Ethan felt his irritation rise and glanced toward the Seventh Princess, who was leaning against the wall and resting. Eli was still a few steps away from the cabin door.
An idea occurred to Ethan, and his eyes lit up. 'Concentrate...' He focused and sent another surge of energy from his palm into the control sphere.
BOOM!
The entire Burrower shuddered violently, and a deep roar reverberated through the hull. Its speed suddenly spiked again. For a brief moment, the acceleration was so violent that it felt as though they had increased their speed a hundredfold.
"WHOA!"
Eli, who was still looking back at Ethan, yelped as his feet left the ground. His body shot forward, heading straight for the cabin door.
SLAM!
