Felix smiled at Nemo, "I'll leave that to you then." Turning to Travis, Felix let out a large sigh, "Indeed. I have no real reason to believe that there will be an occupying force surrounding the Paragon. However, I also have no reason to believe it is just sitting on someone's shelf. We must be diligent and careful. We will stick together this time. We leave tomorrow morning. This time, I'll make sure no one else gets hurt." [hr] Raiya scoffed at Felix's comment, [color=ec008c]"you are barely holding yourself together. What makes you think you can protect us all. You are powerful, Felix. At one point maybe even the most powerful Arch-Mage to ever have been in the order. But admit it, you're a shell of your former self who has cobbled together what amounts to a magical oxygen tank. What happens if our enemy destroys your little lifeline? We'd have a liability to worry about on top of enemies trying to kill us. You're going to be nothing more than dead weight."[/color] [hr] Raiya's seething words seared at the mind of Felix. She wasn't far off the mark. However, he decided months ago that he'd do everything in his power to protect what little he had left, and that included his team. Felix rubbed his eyelids with his right thumb and index finger. "I've thought of that, Raiya. And I've decided that I will constantly keep a manaegis plate around the rune. The only way for someone to destroy it would be with an impact strong enough that it would kill me as well as destroy the rune. So, I'll be fine." Felix assured. "Is there anything else anyone would liked to discuss with me before we adjourn this meeting?"
