[color=39b54a]“Adrian is fine. He’s asleep and so should you. You used up a lot of your energy, so don’t worry and rest. We are heading back to the city,”[/color] He told Nessa. He then returned his attention to the city which is rapidly approaching. As they got closer, he could see a barrier of sort surroundings the entire city. He guessed that it was the magic that protected the city and kept out anyone who didn’t offer something to the gate guardian. He did it in the past so he hoped it would be fine just to fly right over the walls but he was wrong. The griffins and everyone else passed it perfectly fine, but when it was his turn, he was met with a hard wall. It flung him off the Diana and sent him plummeting to the ground. The griffin was about to double back and get him but he instructed them not to. He only hoped Chance and the others would get to the inn and be safe.

Haki looked to the ground that was rapidly approaching. Closing his eyes and channeling his powers, his body began to change into that of a large bird. It wasn’t what he had in mind but it allowed him to land without being injured. Once safely on the ground, he headed for the gate to offer his offering.

In the meantime, the griffin landed in a secluded part of the city to drop everyone off. During that time,  Adrian slowly began to regain consciousness. It looked around to see that they were no longer in the forest. He was about to panic but realize that they were safe. [color=0072bc][i]“Where are we?”[/i][/color] he thought then realized his magic had returned. He was able to use the ring again. 

[color=39b54a][i]“I see you are alive,”[/i][/color] Haki’s voice echoed through his head. For the first time in years, he began crying. He couldn’t contort his breathing and caused his lungs to ache. Though hearing the voice of his friend made the pain bearable. “Hold tight I will be there in a bit,” Haki said. Adrian didn’t respond only nodded, forgetting that Haki wasn’t there. 

[color=0072bc][i]“Are you okay?”[/i][/color] he signed at Nessa seeing that she was awake. He would’ve used the ring but the enchantment has worn off.
