or me. ’

”How much time do you need to prepare your strike force? ” Lith asked the Jiera Council.

”How much time do we have until Tyris gets here? ” Aren asked a Garuda with a knack for numbers.

”Judging from her speed, about ten minutes.
Unless she Warps, of course. ” The Garuda replied while pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

”Eight minutes. ” Aren said to Lith before gesturing the Garuda to take care of the rest of the conversation.
He had already started shouting orders in his amulet, contacting the strongest members of the Beast Council.

The human, the plants, and even the undead representative took out their amulets with panic, calling to arms the greatest champions their respective race had to offer.

”How dare you refuse my call? There ’s my undeath on the line you ungrateful bastards! ” Breganoth, the Lich Sovereign of Jiera, seriously considered ripping the traitorous heart of Vladion the Vampire, the Awakened ruler of his species.

”We left for Garlen almost a year ago, you dimwit! ” Vladion replied with a fury that made his eyes shine like rubies.
”We have no way to get back to Jiera so quickly and even if we could, our answer would be the same you gave to us when the plague brought us to our knees.
Deal with it. ”

Only after Vladion hung up did Breganoth remember that Liches were the only undead species left on Jiera, be they Awakened or not.

”As you heard Lord Aren say, there are seven minutes left before the raid. ” The Garuda said with a professional smile that along with her glasses and blonde hair fixed in a small bun made her look like a secretary.

”In six, I mean five minutes we ’ll send a pulse to your amulet.
It will be the signal to take your position.
About a minute later, we ’ll send a second pulse to get both your coordinates and start the Warp Gate.

”All you need to do is to get in position in time and fuel the amulet with just enough mana to speed up the formation of the dimensional tunnel. ”

”We ’ll be there. ” Lith ended the call.

”What do we do during these five minutes? ” Tista asked.

”We rest. ” Solus came out of hiding spot, touching her companions to siphon the little poison that already coursed through their veins.

”Are you sure you want to do this alone? ” Phloria asked.

”It ’s not a matter of want so much as I must. ” She sighed.
”In the case that someone spots me, you can ’t afford being seen giving me a hand.
This way, I ’ll remain a mysterious outsider and even if someone witnesses as I take the Hands, they ’ll have no way to find me. ”

”Just one question. ” Tista said.
”Let ’s say everything goes right.
How do you leave Kolga? You can ’t use the Council gate with us, correct? ”

”Wrong.
That ’s exactly what I ’ll do if I can ’t use the tower warp in this form. ” Solus replied.

”If I manage to beat the King and retrieve the Hands, all I have to do is to fetch the white crystal atop of the tower.
Without it, both the Forbidden Sun and the dome that isolates Kolga from the ocean will crumble faster.

”This will force the Council to open multiple emergency Gates to evacuate the strike force.
Amid the ensuing chaos, it will be easy for me to slip through unnoticed.
Once I get to the other side, the effects of Forbidden Magic on me will take but a few seconds to fade.

”Once I ’m back in my stone form, it will be easy to slip at the finger of any of you and pass as a simple yet charming accessory. ” Solus showed Tista the two cloaking rings on her hand.
