The set hour was nearly over, in a desperate attempt to save the people of Celine Magda had decided to concentrate what was left of the barrier on a single point. Even now the others were warning the people to get to the set point, Magda's remarkable (TARDIS like) house. There was no time left for training.
Mia looked nervously at the army that surrounded Celine, it was far larger than the one Logan had led.
"Do you know how to use that sword?" asked Wintrin back in his near whisper speech, "We are most likely going to have to fight through them."
"Ryo taught me a little before, but i've never had to really fight before," she answered.
"Then you should stay close to us. I know that the power comes easily to you, but you still don't have enough control yet for advanced manipulation. The sword will be the easiest form for it to assume because it is chosen by your soul," explained Wintrin, then he laughed quietly as he added, "I'm starting to sound just like my old teacher."
"Mia! Wintrin!" called Cye as he ran towards them, "All those who would come are in Magda's home, the barrier is going to be concentrated there shortly."
"All those who would come?" asked Mia.
"Mostly women and children. The others wish to defend Celine, rather than allow Him to believe that they are afraid of him," explained Cye.
"It is their right, but still He will not ignore open defiance and even a concentrated barrier would not hold him forever. I fear Magda is using herself and Celine as a distraction to keep his attention away from you Miha," said Wintrin.
"And that is why Sage, Calisto, and myself are going to remain here for the time being," said Dais as he walked over to the small group.
"I see. Still even He would have a difficult time taking Celine. He may not see it as a threat, but he is arrogant. It is not called the City of Sorcere for nothing, it is home to many Wizards and Battle Mages," remarked Wintrin.
