"What kind of injuries have you and Ward experienced? There might be some kind of significance in which ones we're reliving." Alec wasn't sure if that was part of it but since Bob and Magnus couldn't figure out what was going on, they needed as much information as possible. Maybe there was a connection that they hadn't made yet since Alec's wounds were the only ones that they had been basing theories on.

"I have a way to speed up healing if the wounds aren't poisoned. But you're right. If it continues it could take us down." Could that be what the shadows wanted? But why not make the wounds serious enough to kill instead of only debilitating?

Alec hoped that Kara was wrong but he had the feeling she had guessed the reason why the Librarians had been missing. "I'm beginning to think that's what happened to them. It takes a lot of energy to keep a portal open that long and to create that many glamours. Power has to come from somewhere. Either from the one casting the spell or someone offering up power to sustain the spell. Doing so much might have hurt them so they can't protect us from this."
