Back at the Black Bulls headquarters, a bright light lit up the dining room. Rune appeared amidst the light of teleportation with Gabi and Runa following shortly after.
"Gabi, take Runa to her room, and call Fleur. I'll need both of you to heal these burns."
"As you wish, Master," Gabi replied. She bowed once before picking the young princess up in her arms and leaving down a nearby hallway, making sure the leave the eye with him before she left.
Rune staggered over to the dining room table and pushed everything off of its surface. He climbed up a moment later and laid down on his back with labored breaths. His body was severely burned, and his wounds were beginning to catch up to him now that they had made it to safety.
Looking down, he could see that a section of the burns extended south from his stomach and sucked in a breath as he lifted up his waistband. What he saw, did not make him happy.
