The Chimera roared loudly as he felt a heavy pull smash him against the floor, he growled as he tried to stand, using his powerful body to at least stand up, but his normal amazing speed was no longer there as the pressure seemed to weigh him heavily down to that current spot. Karn, despite his energetic attitude, was actually already pretty tired. He had spent a long time traveling, only to come aboard this adventure with no food or rest. As well as the long timed transformations he did, and fighting that Vulcan. After all, he wasn't actually prepared for battle unlike the Guild Members.

This man seemed to control some sort of Gravity magic, and perhaps if he was bigger it would cause strain. But he couldn't afford to waste too much magic, and he wasn't sure he had the energy to transform into something bigger.

However, he wasn't about to give up as he stood and gave a loud roar as the Rune Knights around him that were standing blasted him with magical attacks. Fire scorched his fur, though the scales helped keep him from being scorched. He couldn't afford to turn human again so they could get back the book. Hissing in pain as one Rune Knight sliced his flank with a strip of wind magic, he growled and his large claws dug into the ground below him, crushing it into dust. Managing to lift his tail, he swung it against the knight to fling them towards Wes.

It was then there was some ruckus down the hall and he managed to turn his head a little to see two familiar faces. **"Hey there Maddy, Sayuri."** Karn spoke with a happy but strained voice.
