Karina listened to Tayla's words with a concerned expression, seemingly not even realizing she had caught Tayla in the middle of changing herself. 

[color=6ecff6]"My magic also doesn't seem to be working. The fact that Octavio's magic works will definitely be of a huge help to us though."[/color] Karina said, thinking.

[color=6ecff6]"What? Not only Chres is by himself but the princess was also captured?"[/color] Karina asked angrily as she heard Tayla's words. 

[color=6ecff6]"Damn it! It was always a trap! Since the very beginning!"[/color] Karina said, cursing herself for not having noticed it sooner.

Karina's mind was swirling with thoughts. For such a trap to be set in such a short notice, the possibility of the army having an information leak was substantial. It would explain how the enemy, whoever they were, were somehow able to know in advance that they were going to the prison with the princess. Regardless, getting nervous right now would do Karina no good and after taking a second to breathe and recompose herself, she looked towards Octavio and Tayla with a serious expression.

[color=6ecff6]"We need to stay together and go find Chres and the Princess. Not only we can't use our powers amd in numeric disadvantage, but we are basically walking in the dark right now... With no idea where the Princess or Chres might be and no idea from where our enemies will attack us."[/color] Karina said, immediately heading towards the door as she listened Týfurkh's words coming from another room.

[color=6ecff6]"Discretion is not our best option anymore. We need to prioritize being fast. I can hear Týfurkh and Jen on the other room. Octavio, we'll need your support. Now more than ever. Can I count on you?"[/color] Karina asked, looking to Octavio with a serious expression as she opened the door, her rapier still on her hand.

[color=6ecff6]"Tayla, do you remember at least the direction Syl went?"[/color] Karina asked, looking to Tayla.
