[The Wall]

That magic looks familiar... You? I should have killed you when I had the chance. But for now, you can feel some pain. Blueshield took aim at the location of Aegis's horn-light, then let fly with a green-tipped acid quarrel.

She next fired her last green-tipped bolt at Rock Star. To whom it may concern: My apologies for the distraction. Hopefully, the acid would either mess up their concentration or melt through their defences, giving other archers a clear shot.

With her special shots exhausted, Blueshield turned toward her companions. "I should go. The gate needs reinforcing. Keep them occupied!" She then started heading down from the wall.

Night Jewel glanced up for a moment, hearing the sounds of hoofsteps above. "Hurry..."

Less worrying, more getting things done.


With that little bit of self-reminder, she turned her attention back to the task at hoof.

I'll have to use my invisible light spell for this. I don't have other magic of the "cast and leave going" kind, and focusing on two spells at once is a little overwhelming.

She carefully tied the spell into the matrix as a power source. She wouldn't be able to see as far in the dark or make mechanical adjustments as quickly, but it was a small price to pay.

Is that it?

Patience, girl. Do you want the spell or not?

I want it, but I don't want to be too late to prevent disaster.
