CHAPTER SIXTEEN

It took several more hours to get back to base camp and make sure there was a full path for the creatures we had rescued. The few pixies that had returned to us and the snappers that had come with them had been only a fraction of the creatures who had lived there before the attack, and they had needed space and time to mourn their dead.

As such, we needed to do all the work in growing the path between our outer wall and the grove. It had taken a while, and we’d needed to draw some magic from the batteries of our companions, but I’d been happy we were safe.

The wave of magic that had eaten a huge swathe of corrupted land and killed far more of the corrupted than the entire army could have done in so short a time caused chaos and prevented the enemy from coming at us.

It had eased my mind and those of the dragons and humans strong enough to sense the corrupted that far, and it appeared to have a positive impact on much of the team. However, Ranoctil was far less impressed.

“You were gone a long time,” he said, his frown as deep as it ever got. “The whole force has been muttering about a big change in magical energy and a shift in what they can feel. Several of the castles on your side reported a big magical burst of energy, and some of your dragons from Earth had the skill to figure out that many of the corrupted must have been wiped out.”

I confirmed what he’d been told and added the rest of the story. I placed the blame for not reaching the grove on time on my shoulders, along with the rage that had led to my thrusting every bit of magic I had access to at the enemy with all the force I could muster.

Although it took some time to tell and we had taken a long time to return, I noticed I didn’t feel anywhere near as pained or strained as before. My headache was gone, and I merely had the usual aches and pains from walking so far and exerting myself physically.

“You’d best get all those batteries recharged as soon as possible. The second wall could have been powered by all that magic and made more secure.”

I shrugged, knowing Tim had already volunteered to take them back to Earth and bring back some full batteries. Scarlet was constantly ramping up production, bringing us more than ever and producing extra empty batteries for Ashaire to fill. The latter might still have to face attacks through the portal, but they had a large dragon population, and more of their magic could be spared now that we were giving them tech from Earth. Between the two, our supplies would soon replenish.

Ranoctil picked up on my indifference and shook his head before he sat on the bench beside the war map again. It appeared he had tried to adjust it and zoom out again but hadn’t gotten far yet.
