"He's out!" echoed the triumphant call as Emery successfully traversed the swirling gateway. Yet, the relief was short-lived as multiple tentacles followed him, extending through the portal, attempting to ensnare him and shatter the fragile boundary between dimensions. One tentacle nearly succeeded, nearly closing its grasp around Emery's limb, but before it could, it met its demise in a burst of powerful flames.
The source of this fiery intervention was none other than Delbrand, the ghost of Lymhurst. The seasoned grand magus cast a potent spell, a fiery barrier that not only incinerated the encroaching tentacle but also served as a barrier to keep the malevolent appendages within the confines of the portal. In tandem with Delbrand's fiery defense, Nael Nephilim, the fate child, weaved a new restraining spell, collaborating with the high elves to reinforce the mystical barricade.
