As Zaratu finished speaking, what he said would happen started happening right away. The mixture of energies inside the vortex – spatial magic, wild magic, and sacrificial blood magic, started growing unstable, teetering on the edge of collapse without Dralys there to control it.
Lyle and the others were now fully aware of the danger of the vortex and were getting ready for what was to come.
"Master, I recommend you and the others leave, I have no idea just what is going to happen after this destabilizes, how powerful the aftermath will be."
"No, nobody will be leaving this place," Nicholas said as he stared at the three.
"We can't afford to lose any of you three, so we will not be leaving this place," Nicholas said before glancing at Lyle.
"We shall create a barrier, all of you will use your mana to reinforce it while Lyle and I hold it active."
