"Tomes of Elder magic," Neil voiced Shad's thoughts. He snatched a tome from the Etrurian noble and started at a run towards his horse Mina (who he was glad to see still okay after the Meteor attack). But that burst of speed slowed to a staggering walk from the pain the shot up his spine.
Then Kalin showed up with a healing staff. Neil knew a thing or two about using it, but he didn't say anything since the pegasus knight seemed to know what she was doing... for the first few seconds she tried.
He opened his mouth to tell her how to use the staff, but thought against it when the pain in his limbs subsided.
'If it looks stupid but it works, then you're stupid,' Cecily told him once.
"Thanks!" Neil called over his shoulder as he took the last stretch to mount his horse.
He brought her around and reached over to hoist Paige up behind him, the tome still in hand.
"If you think you're slipping off, just hold onto me," he instructed her.
"Go, Mina!" Neil shouted.
His horse raced through the gate where the Sacaean quickly encountered a pair of brigands.
Opening his palm, Neil looked down at the tome that he took from Shad. A brief scan of the text indicated that he took a Flux tome. Although the bow and arrow were still strapped to the side of Mina, Neil had forgotten about them; he focused on reading the incantation and the ancient words echoed in his mind as he gestured towards one bandit.
The dark goop of Flux slithered towards the frightened brigand who tried to flee, but was enveloped in the magical substance. The Flux imploded, leaving only a pool of blood behind as it dissipated.
