"The Great I can't let this get bigger," warned Nyxtharion #28.
"Let's stop it. The Great I will take it again," decided Nyxtharion #2.
The hivemind pulled tight.
A powerful presence surged through the hivemind, sucking the madness out of Neo.
It hurt them, like fire in their heads.
All of them together could not even carry half of the madness Neo was feeling.
Neo took a big breath, feeling better, even if only a little.
The shadows quieted down, and he could see again.
He looked up, still shaky.
"Thank you," whispered Neo.
"The Great I took your madness again. This is the second time. It's the last time the Great I could do this," cautioned Nyxtharion #4, breathing heavily.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and it and Nyxtharion #2 were the only ones capable of talking.
The other wall guardians needed time to compose themselves.
"What do you mean?" asked Neo, his voice weak.
