"[b]The gods enjoy toying with us today, it seems--shifting our fates from being cruel to being merciful.[/b]" Nadeline noted, quirking an eyebrow at the opportunity before them. "[b]We must make haste with this beast.[/b]"

Emiri nodded in agreement, though she didn't get her hopes up yet. There was still the manner of actually beating it.

Nadeline seemed to have picked up her hint, holding her free hand out. A green glyph appeared beneath Wesley. "[b]Faith![/b]" She cast her spell, enchancing his magical power.
