Hybrids of Team Crafted: Cyber War

Rise

After hours upon hours of painstaking work, they finally found what they're looking for.

  Seto wiped the sweat off his brow as he let out a relieved exhale," Guys, guys, this is it!"
 
  Everybody crowded over the young sorcerer and the open book before him, squinting at the clean pages filled with dozens of symbols and illustrations, the largest picture depicting circle of golden lines. The words were written in a simple yet elegant manner, the bold letters hinting at an inner strength from the  writer.

  Seto's eyes scanned the pages, "Okay, so there is a way to compound this trap with an Aurus Radial. But to perform that, we're gonna need some ingredients."

  "Which are?" Sky questioned.

  " The first one is a potion that would be a little tricky to brew, but something I can manage by myself," Seto  said, his eyes still busy scanning the book, " To draw an Aurus Radial, we would need to a carve a special circle in the ground with obsidian, then sprinkle on some glowstone and redstone dust. Just as I remembered."

  "So we need to make an obsidian pick of some kind?" Shaman raised an eyebrow," That was easy. Although time consuming."

  "That's it?" Jason asked.

  "Basically," Seto nodded, studying the book for some more," We can find a way to reinforce it, but we would need to take some of these notes and discuss it with the other sorcerers. They probably know more about this than I do."

  "Are you alright?" Carify said worriedly, her voice agitated," I was afraid I've lost you."

  Brineary closed his eyes with a sigh. So many memories. The past he kept buried deep within him just came gushing back to the surface. But it was all gone now. There was no going back. No matter how much he wanted to.

  "I...I'm fine," he said weakly as he reopened his eyes, glowing dimly like a light threatening to splutter out.

  Carify grimaced," It's alright. Just relax and heal. We'll take care of the rest."

  Brineary shook his head," But...I can't... the Heart..."

  "The Heart can wait," Carify reassured him, her voice soft," With Nacyus gone, we can take them."

  "But-"

  "Do you trust me?" Carify's startling orangish red eyes bored right into his, a warmth seemingly spreading from her warm irides, surrounding his entire form, soothing him.

  Brineary nodded, a small, relieved grimace crept across his face as he closed his eyes in Carify's embrace, immersing himself back into the comforting darkness. No thoughts, just whispers of feelings flitting by, wisps of pleasant emotions. Warmth..
 
  He missed that feeling so much he could hardly bear it.

  But now with his heart laid bare, he could no long hide it. He could always keep up his mask, but he could never lie to himself.

  He missed Sekia with all his heart, although he would never admit it. Nacyus may had been slain, but that did nothing to quell his hatred, nothing to quell the ever present pain of betrayal.

  But perhaps now in his dreams, he could find rest.

  Three days flew by. More frequent patrols have been scheduled, and the city of Lytrovius has been even more heavily fortified. The Aurus Radial had already been completed and set up around the Heart of Minecraftia by every sorcerer present, but aside from the occasional skirmish with virus scouting parties, there has been no word from Brineary so far.
