Vaid gasped in pain as the vision flowed though his head. The majority of it was obscured, whoever had taken Lyra knew enough to bleed their energy into the room so seeing backwards in time became almost impossible. Suddenly Vaid saw a dirty wooden floor, heavy metal bars, and the gleaming shapes of imprisoning runes on a wall. "The dungeon, eh? Well time to go get Lyra," Vaid stood briskly and then abruptly sitting back down again, the blood had rushed to his head and he needed a second to catch his breath. Once his vision was steady he stood again, slowly this time, and waited for Marri. Scant minutes later Marri came walking into the door, weapons strapped to his waist and Vaid's weapons and armor in hand. "Shall we go get our student then?" Marri asked in a cheerful voice. Vaid replied by summoning his armor onto himself, his sword to his waist and daggers on his back. The two wouldn't be able to translocate into the dungeon, they would have to walk in. Vaid and Marri instead translocated to the front of the guard house, where the entrance to the dungeons was. Waiting for them were several guards and magic users as well as a council member. "Vaid.... Marri.... You know we can't let you take her off our hands. There's no telling what you two would do to her, what you would turn her into," the Council member said with a smile on his face. "Who do you exactly think you are? Do you know who you're talking to?" Vaid asked the Council member with a flat voice and straight face. Everyone's faces before them turned to shock, the Councilor's face was dumb founded. "Well you seem to have forgotten who we are. So let us remind you why Marri and I forced all three nations to sign a document declaring us free from any one nation's control," Vaid held out his right hand, palm down, and began saying his spell. As he spoke his voice got louder, the trees carried his voice as a whisper throughout the forest, the wind began to pick up. "STOP THEM!" The Councilor yelled. The guards rushed forward first, but Marri was there to meet him. Long sword in hand he mutter the incants that would make him powerful. Tattoos of runes flooded up from the bottom of his skin and settled there and began to glow. Marri began his dance as the first guard neared striking distance. The runes on his blade flared to life as he dodged the first strike and slid his blade up into a gap in the armor. The Elvish guard fell to the ground with a thud and soon after the guard's friends joined him. Marri danced between opponents, striking fast and accurately. He'd parry a blow only to give himself time to wait for an enemy to his side to show an opening and then Marri would strike him down. As Marri finished laying the last guard to rest Vaid's spell finished. The air dropped still and above the back of Vaid's palm a small ball of energy began to form. Eventually it began to take the form of a sphere made up of seemingly smaller and smaller circles. Runes danced in a golden glow throughout the sphere and when Vaid's eyes opened runes danced in his eyes. "Let's begin," Vaid said with a smile as the sphere disappeared into his skin leaving behind a very complicated runic circle glowing on his hand.
