Aurdis rushed to the orb. When he arrived, her hands glowing with silver light as she channeled her Magic energy into it. The room seemed to hum with Magic vibration and the swirling chaos within the orb began to stabilize. Erend stood close beside her with a deep frown etched on his face.
"Is this another effort to probe the barrier?" Erend wondered. "Or is this the moment Laston decides to launch an attack?"
The uncertainty gnawed at his mind. Laston's cunning mind made it nearly impossible to predict his next move. Every action the traitor Elf took seemed calculated to keep his enemies guessing, and Erend knew that underestimating him would be a grave mistake. Just like that time where Laston was almost success but fortunately, he didn't consider him as a threat.
Aurdis's voice broke his thoughts.
"There's a disturbance," she said. "It's the same foreign Magic energy as before and detected on the west side of the dome barrier."
