They reappeared outside the Golden City gates. The guards aimed their sunbeam blasters at them. "Who are you? What do you want?" the lead guard asked. "Eruma and Jorna from Rokotai. Gelvan and Caltren from Kveaita. We have urgent business with your Knights" Gelvan said. "Alright. You may pass, but don't try anything" the guard said. The gates opened, and they entered the city. The citizens gave them worried glances, afraid that they may attack them. "Porteo algre" said Gelvan, and they stepped through the portal.
Leor, Skalyr, Aerza and Iltera looked up. "Gelvan, Caltren, Eruma, Jorna, what brings you here?" asked Skalyr. "Orkovael was destroyed. All of the cadets, and your other Knights have been killed. I and Gelvan investigated it. Xoer. Elantya, Haelia, Ulzen, Kinta, Vorkas, Ateros and Eikyra. They attacked us. That's when Eruma and Jorna arrived. Eruma killed Vorkas, and Jorna was knocked out by Ulzen and Kinta. We escaped with minor injuries" Caltren replied. "The Xoer armies are spread thin. It is time we finish them off" said Eruma. "Alright. Kilor, Kelja and Xalas are en route to Hellion with one of our armies. The rest of our forces are currently spread throughout Lidaer. It will take some time to gather them, but with your armies, Xoer will fall soon" said Iltera.
"We will attack their aerial bases so that our fleets will be able to establish air superiority. First though, Jorna needs help. I healed her enough so that Ulzen and Kinta's lightning didn't sap all of her life force, but she will need far more than that to be able to function anytime soon. My power isn't enough" Eruma said.
They placed Jorna on the couch, and gathered around her. "Heilas algre" they said in unison, sending torrents of healing energy into her body. After a few minutes, she stirred, and opened her eyes. She took a deep breath, and sat up. They relaxed, and the energy faded away. "Welcome back" Eruma said, and handed her staff back.
"Where am I?" asked Jorna, as her eyes adjusted to the light. "You are in the Lidaeri capital. Eruma, Caltren and Gelvan brought you here" Leor said. "And what of Haelia and the other Xoer Knights?" she asked. "Vorkas is dead. The others are far away. We are planning to attack the Xoer soon. Kilor, Xalas and Kelja already attacked Hellion. Our armies are surrounding them. We shall provide the final push" said Skalyr.
Qiras smiled grimly, as he listened to the proceedings. He took out the flask on his hip and drank all of the liquid in a few gulps, to have enough for the flight to his pick up point. "Insae" he whispered. "Luvitium" the Alcar's body flickered out of existence, and he leapt off the roof, soaring through the night, keeping himself airborne with the magic.
