“Caleb and Essek would be together for a while…”

There’s a flash of movement in front of him, on the other side of the shimmering wall, and he whips around to look at it, immediately regretting the movement as a wave of dizziness hits him. He sways, going down to his elbows and knees, and rests his head a moment on the floor, muttering a curse.

”Caleb, what-“ he swallows down a wave of nausea, gripping the floor in the vain hope it will make the room stop spinning. “-what happened?”

“What do you remember? We were fighting something that was down here-“

”-I…I think I remember that.” Flashes of a fight filter back, impressions more than solid memories. Caleb’s shouts, spells firing off, the strange screech of something that had been kept in the bowels of the fallen city, waiting-

“-I don’t know how I got in here, though. I didn’t- I couldn’t have-“ Thoughts are hard. “I may be concussed.”

The shape on the other side of the wall moves closer, crouching down to his level before pressing a hand to the barrier, and Essek realizes it’s Caleb.

”Are you alright? Other than the concussion? I think there was a wild magic flare- you disappeared after casting something, and reappeared in there.”
