Unlike before, with one orb moving, the pain was far less.
Grinding his teeth, Bard moved the orb.
He would have warned Ezra of the pain, but Ezra's muscles wiped his fears, so he didn't bother.
Ezra was drawn into an inexplicable darkness, awakening once the job was done.
His body cast an enormous shadow and he was sweating buckets.
"How long did it take?"
"Ten minutes"
"That short?"
"I'm surprised as well. What is the affinity rank for darkness?"
"A-rank" the more Bard didn't know, the better.
Swiftly, Ezra drank the blue potion as Bard warned him…
"Moving too many too fast could cause issues"
"Tell me that before I drink it"
Sighing, Bard got to it.
This time, he woke to an iced room, with his body frozen, releasing chilling air.
Bard stood unbothered.
"How do you feel"
"What do you-"
A headache struck as blood fell from his nose in drops.
Ezra cleaned it and waved his hands away.
"This…is…nothing much"
Why was his voice funny?
Bard raised his brow.
