"If Arcidius Valkore really did get out last night then surely he'd know" Magdi mused without really realising she'd spoken aloud. Of course, if Arcidius Valkore had escaped, he ought to have brought reinforcements back. How long did that take with the magical enhancements posessed by the leader of the whole city's mage order? There ought to be people digging through the rubble and checking things out if Valkore had survived. Maybe it was too soon for that. Perhaps she was expecting too much of magic. Either way it was too late for too many people and there was little point in hanging one's hopes on those who were absent.
Magdi tried to think of tales of trapped voices that she might have heard somewhere.
