Mana gathering, runes activating, magic circle shining. Eldrian glowed from within the crystal of frozen air for a few seconds. Disappearing, as many had suspected he would, but dared not believe.
The sight came as confirmation to Eldrian's friends, but to Alec and the other vampires it was a law-breaking thing. Thanks to the tons of frozen air between Eldrian and them, few had seen the runes. Their minds racing to try and make sense how he had accomplished this.
"Aren't you going to press your advantage?" Sofiera asked the vampire princess who had come to them filled with questions.
Eldrian hadn't teleported that far and it would most certainly be best for her to attack before he could gather his bearings. However, she did not move.
"I would prefer not to use such underhanded tactics." Levana replied, though honestly no one could claim it to be truly underhanded. Using all to your advantage was a given during a duel.
