As soon as Kahleni heard that they had an hour to prepare before their journey, she turned to the guard beside her and held out her arms in front of her. "Can you please remove these? I need to get ready for this mission."

The guard leered at her, but eventually he reached for his keys and unlocked the shackles on her wrists and ankles. Kahleni then left the room without saying another word to head towards the nearest supply shack. Outside, she saw the other mage standing around as if he didn't have a care in the world. She felt a slight sensation course through her veins, and she made it out to be a combination of both her release as well as being within such close proximity of another mage. But Kahleni kept walking nonetheless, wanting to avoid the others as much as they avoided her for the past decade and a half.
