[color=#0050ff][b]"I'm planning to make small detour at the market, I don't know how much of our pantry got raided by Alex and I wanna make sure I can put something on the table that can satiate their appetites."[/b][/color] Raudd said to his sister breaking the silence after passing the last landmark until the Stoneworks would be coming into view.
[color=#018c3b][b]"Are you sure Alex isn't going to be in the kitchen making something by the time we'll be back anyways?"[/b][/color] Zolya responded after a slight startle at the voice breaking through the sounds of the breathing of animals, the ravens flapping their wings high above and the sound of the hooves and clawed paws on the coarse ground below.
[color=#0050ff][b]"You know he's making Forgemaster pretty much make a whole new suit, you saw how trashed it was. He's probably still working on the finishing touches, I got the time... Even with the little excursion. We already had that seafood fettuccine for lunch so I'm thinking maybe a hearty vegetable stew with some bread."[/b][/color] Raudd mused trying fish for a side dish from Zolya. However instead of an idea he got an [color=#018c3b][b]"Oh fuck no!"[/b][/color] from her.

She jumped off the deer that was carrying her prompting Raudd to do the same. [color=#0050ff][b]"What? I thought you liked veggie stew."[/b][/color]
[color=#018c3b][b]"No not that, something's coming. Cover me."[/b][/color] She said diving behind her brother for cover, raising an extra barrier or two.
[color=#0050ff][b]"I don't see shit. What kind of magic bullshit are we facing?"[/b][/color] Raudd asked looking around whatever has his sister so agitated and brining up his shield, expecting it to do exactly nothing against what has his sister so worried. She didn't get much of a chance to make it clear to even herself what was coming beyond 'this is bad' before it hit them.

A silent shockwave blasted through tearing at the barriers like a child peeling a chocolate egg, the animals flickered as the wave tore on their existence and the screaming. Zolya clearly got the worst of it barely being able stay conscious and keeping herself from hitting the ground by clinging onto her brother.
Raudd Well he sure as hell felt something, something hot almost burning as whatever force battered them tried to invade his mind and the whispering a distant sound yet clearly coming from inside the mind. [color=#0050ff][b]"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"[/b][/color] His voice suddenly boomed through air contesting the screaming, whispers and the burning until it faded away.

What was left was the ragged breathing of the two siblings and a static crackle from the wisps of red mist that escaped with each exhalation from Raudd. Looking over his shoulder to see how Zolya was holding on, quite literally, Raudd could see she was still struggling quite a bit to catch her breath. So he decided to just make himself a tree, at least until she was gonna let go.

A long moment passes before her breathing finally stabilizes and she finds the strength in her body to let go. [color=#018c3b][b]"What on this cursed earth was that!"[/b][/color] She yelled into the ether as the walked back to her ride back home.

[color=#0050ff][b]"Well seemed like some magic bullshit to me."[/b][/color] Raudd sort of jokingly replied hoping to brighten the atmosphere getting back on the back of his stag. Seeing his little sister struggle getting up on the other stag he decides to give her a helping hand after which the two got back on their road back towards the Stoneworks with the other animals in tow.
