"Val?"

Yin's startled expression.

No time to explain.

Val was already racing across the grounds, desperate to make it in time.

He could feel the terrible cords of magics he could barely fathom slowly unraveling from a web of exquisite complexity, showcasing skills far beyond his own.

But the cords were stretched tight.

A single burr in the exquisite framework was all it took to kiss oblivion's promise.

Disaster just a heartbeat away.

"Val?" Dirk's gaze. Alarm muting instantly to battle-ready fury. Hand withdrawing from blade and blaster as Val, not a secret assassin out to kill Dirk after all, blasted past him.

"Val!"

Val jerked with his right hand, the SF sign for abort that he had no doubt Dirk understood, even as his left summoned his synergized ward, terror lending a strange icy clarity to his thoughts, feeling it roar to life as skills did for him at times when so many other soldiers stumbled and froze.

Boosted Synergized Ward cast! Critical failure check made! Congratulations! By some flawed understanding in your oddly shaped brain, you've managed to overload your Mageward! 50 mana spent! Your Synergized Ward now has access to your full mana reserves and is capable of absorbing wounds of severe nature or lower! Don't expect this shield to hold too long, Val. All things come at a cost, and your mana is draining even now...

"Julia!" Val screamed. "Pull out! Pull out! Say the P word! Say it now!"

He could see her then, as Val raced for all he was worth, booted feet tearing into the loamy ground.

Julia. Scarred, beautiful, gazing with fierce determination at the furiously crackling ball of death in the form of tungsten carbide crystals surrounding a core of super-heated plasma even now forming into being. Val blinked in disbelief, for all that it was his Arcane Perception intuiting the elemental makeup the weapon.

Tungsten carbide. What tank piercing rounds were once made of. More than capable of shredding steel covered knights, or in the form of kinetic missiles, blowing up hidden bunkers from space. And Val could sense the terrible twisting of the web, how the matrix was heartbeats away from collapsing in on its core.

Julia herself.

"Pull out!" Val screamed. "Say the P word, Julia!"

And Julia blinked, perhaps realizing how dire her peril was only at that moment, fierce determination turning into horrified exhaustion as she collapsed to her knees, the spell cords snapping apart ever faster, the hideous ball of fiery death about to bring oblivion down upon them both.

"Julia!" At that moment Val felt the tight cords whipping free as if they were living tendrils. As real and malleable as the spell matrices he had practiced so diligently controlling with his PRM ability, just minutes ago. Seeing in a terrible epiphany that it was only a tiny jump from manipulating one's own spell webs to shaping another's.

Haunted green eyes locked with his own. "Val..."

But Val had eyes only for the terrible ball of death beginning its descent, shoving outward with every iota of his will to shove the nexus aside, and more importantly, to pivot that shrieking ball of death around.
