Chapter Two

The day of our departure for the promised summer retreat arrived more quickly than I’d imagined. I awoke before the first light, and by the time I had gone through the process of getting dressed and prepared for travel, the sun was already climbing into the sky. Marisa, Owen, and I hastened to the Pyreborn headquarters, finding Prince Edward and Lord Teodore awaiting us—and absolutely no one else.

We’re a little short on people for a royal outing, aren’t we?

We were right on time, early even, yet our party numbered only five. I’d known the trip had been hastily put together, but this hastily? Surely we’d need more people just to reach our destination?

“Will it be only the five of us traveling?” I inquired.

“No, others from our order have already begun the journey by carriage and horseback,” Prince Edward clarified. “The five of us will be traveling via teleportation. Teo can only manage so many people at once, but don’t worry, we’ll meet the rest of our attendants there.”

Ah, teleportation magic, of course. I’d completely forgotten that such a thing was even an option. I’d thought for sure we’d be traveling by carriage. I let out a sigh at my own ignorance, my eyes drifting over the room until they settled on the sight of Lord Teodore, hunched over the coffee table. “One hundred... Twenty...” he seemed to mutter as he pored over a heap of parchment.

“So Lord Teodore’s been calculating the coordinates?” I asked.

“Indeed,” Prince Edward responded. “Actually, he completed the calculations yesterday. He’s just double-checking now. Teleporting with incorrect coordinates can lead to...unfortunate results.”

“Unfortunate...how?”

“You might end up in an unknown territory. Barring that, atop a misty mountain, or even at the bottom of the sea. You could teleport straight to your death, depending on how badly you’ve botched the equations.”

The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Well, isn’t that pleasant... Not only could we get lost or stranded, we could even meet an untimely demise... “That certainly would be unfortunate...”

“Right? But don’t worry,” he reassured, placing a comforting hand on my head. “The caster can usually sense if something is awry and abort the teleport midway. It’s very rare for a faulty teleport spell to be cast to completion.”

Just then, Lord Teodore sprang to his feet. He walked over to us, holding a single piece of parchment. “I thank you all for your patience. The final checks are complete, and we are now ready to proceed. Everyone, form a circle.”

Having done this once already, I promptly positioned myself. Marisa, on the other hand, who was evidently experiencing teleportation for the first time, looked utterly lost, and her eyes darted around for guidance. Eventually, with some gentle prodding from the rest of us, she joined us to form a tight circle, and Lord Teodore placed the parchment with the magic circle drawn on it at our feet. “Hold hands with the people next to you and do not let go—for any reason—until the spell is complete,” he instructed. “I’m sure we’d all prefer to avoid being lost in space-time or ending up somewhere unintended.
