Looking to the soldiers who were running at him, Colton continued to try moving away in vain, at least the team survived, even if it was without him. He began to think of the kingdom again. From his home, to the dungeon, to the friends he served with. Colton took one deep breath, awaiting the worst.
Suddenly, he felt a hand grab at his coat, and pulled him to the portal just moments before the soldiers could slash and cut him down.
Colton couldn't believe it, he was too exhausted to think and too injured to care, he just wanted to rest and not fight for now.
Once a few seconds of peace and calm had passed, he fell onto the familiar cold wooden hard ground. He slowly opened his eyes, too injured to try and move a muscle. It took some seconds but his eyes could see where they were. The library.
Around him, the rest of his team lay, Calliope though was already up, limping to one of the bookshelves with the other book in her hand.
