Panicked, Remi rushed to the Academy to check on Karl, and found that he was collapsed in the ruins of the mage training building, still in Avatar form, but ninety percent of his body was black mist.
That was his regeneration attempting to rebuild the destroyed parts of his body, as the surviving portions of it were currently mostly legs and spine, with a damaged skull missing all its scales.
But the Karl wasn’t dead.
Half a continent away, Dana felt pain surge through her body, as if her soul was being seared from the inside, but there was nothing here that could threaten her. She was fighting giant frogs, and they were no match for her blade skills.
It had to be Karl in danger.
But what could realistically threaten Karl?
There simply weren’t a lot of creatures that could overpower his team to the point that he would be in real danger. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Now, he might be short on two members, but he still had Hawk, Rae and Cara available, if Cara was finished with whatever she was doing in the Chaos Realm.
Opal’s Illusionary Domain hosted an upgraded army of hammer wielding Dwarves that were incredibly effective in combat, and the butterfly herself had landed on top of Tian, which made it look like the cat sized fox had giant wings.
[I would make a cute fae.] Tian agreed as he heard Dana’s thoughts.
[The spells heal the body, the fluff heals the heart.] Opal added.
Dana sighed at the two oddballs that she had gotten as backup. Inside Opal’s Domain, everything worked in her favour, and with Tian’s intervention, even the terrain adapted to hinder the army of frogs. But neither the butterfly nor the fox was capable of taking anything seriously.
[I mean, what danger are we actually in? Worst case scenario, we just go back and hide in our space.] Opal suggested.
[Can you even get there from here?] Dana asked.
They were halfway across the continent, that was well beyond any sort of reasonable access range for their personal space.
[I can open a portal.] Opal replied with a mental shrug.
Tian nodded in agreement. Portals were the best way to get back to the Karl if he wandered away on them. It wasn’t even an elemental magic, it was easy to use.
Dana sighed as she realized that the beasts really didn’t have any trouble simply running back home when they were in trouble. They didn’t even need a portal large enough to move through, just enough to link the two locations so they could move into their space, the same trick that she could do with Teleportation.
Slowly, the pain in Dana’s chest was fading, so she assumed that Karl was alright. The beasts certainly would have had some response if he were not alright, and they were still calmly talking about returning to their spaces if there was actual danger.
[Focus on getting us to the other side of the battlefield. The black dragon is holding the temple by himself.] Dana instructed.
[Got it, boss lady.] Tian agreed.
