I gritted my teeth and forced more power into the spell. The rift slowly formed at the tip of my claw-like fingers. As it slowly grew, Asher shot me a worried glance. "Are you ok? You look like you're having some trouble there."
I shook my head. "I'm just tired, don't worry." I lied, then pointed at the rift that was now just large enough to let them pass through. "Go on," I said.
Asher seemed hesitant; he probably had realised that something wasn't right. I glanced at Mona and urged her to pass through the rift. "I can't keep this open for long, I'm almost out of mana."
The tired druid nodded and passed through. Laura and Theresa were quick to follow her. Rina and Alex were next. They both seemed rather exhausted as they didn't even glance at the rest of us as they passed through. With every person who left this place, I felt a little more relieved.
