Sabine was a fae? Leah thought she was Inhuman. Was she fucking born here, on some far away piece of the world and only just now learning about it? Fuck, Leah knew how that felt. It hurt like hell when it happened to her, too. Luna's comments on the situation made her feel a bit less frantic. Ben was Inhuman, and he wasn't convulsing on the ground. So it wasn't a moon people thing, at least. They just had to let her go through the process... However long it took. While Vicky was slowly dying, and while nefarious people prowled the sands. Because of course.
Leah sat the kit Vicky offered up next to her. She ignored Jean-Luc barking up a storm, ignored the others getting their bearings, and focused on the immediate situation. Leah's two runes floated into her palm, and she whispered something into them. They stacked over each other and the glyph appeared again. The magic energy that coated Sabine was a little brighter, the awful pain she was an extra step diminished.
"That's about the best I can do right now," Leah told her, gently. She leaned back on one knee, rolling the two stones around in her hand. Would the Wreath help? Whatever was happening to her didn't quite seem like damage, just a change.
"If some of you are going, I'll stay here for defense." Leah laid Sjafnamarr on the ground beside Sabine, out of the way so she didn't roll over the massive blade and slice herself. With her free hand, Leah felt the sand underneath them. It was warm, and felt familiar enough to work with. She clamped a fist around the sand, it shifted under everyone's feet. Twenty feet away, in every direction, it climbed over itself and formed circular walls, until they were twenty feet high. Directly in front of them, a door opened wide enough for two people to walk through at once. It faced the crawling structure off in the distance.
The dome solidified into sandstone, the exterior dim on the inside.
"Now we have cover to hide in. We'll probably be hard to spot that far away. If Danni goes, he can make a fire to signal us after he gets their attention, and maybe Andy can shoot a bolt up so we don't lost anyone. Unless Sabine and Vicky can use their connection to find each other, but we don't want to push either of them right now. Chase, you can probably find us quicker than Percy if you can lock onto someone's shadow. I have no idea if Dorian can get in and out of the Astral from here... If we get swarmed, I can close the door." She looked at everyone gathered around. Splitting up was objectively a risky idea, but it wouldn't do to move Sabine or even abandon her.
"Stay together and be damn sure you don't lean too hard on any one person. Just like the Contest… Luna, here-" Leah reached into her bag and withdrew one of the pieces of her collection that she brought with her. A grey, hexagonal pyramid no larger than a baseball. There were geometric lines running across its surface, as if it had been used to practice manipulation of mineral structures.
She sat it down between her and the other girl.
”It’s Magnetite. If the dwarves need to be paid off to help us, give them that.” And with that, she grabbed her seven foot-sword again, pocketed her runes, and stood guard right outside the entrance.

Bandits.
In Marlena's unprofessional opinion, she preferred Luna's idea of forming a circle over turtling up. It made sense to not be exposed, but she wasn't going to fight anybody. If Sandbenders from The Last Airbender showed up ready to rob them of their dragon companion, then Marlena was of a mind to just scatter the group to the four winds. The dome that Leah put over them was useful, though. Even as the sun was going down. Marlena couldn't bring herself to watch Sabine's body reshape itself. It'd be nice if she could do something, but she didn't have healing spells. The Story Magic that dictated how things went seemed capable of changing a person physically, considering the fact that Percy had cat ears. What purpose did it serve to subject somebody to this? Was she being retconned into being a fae? When they went home, would she be back to normal?
”I’ll go,” She decided. ”I can’t fight, but I can probably reason with the dwarves in that mountain. And, I think…”
She tossed her board out in front of her. It didn’t hit the sand, instead floating a few inches above it. Marlena’s telekinetic power kept it there, and it was difficult to see her grin in the dim light.
”Cool.” She stepped on it, and to her surprise, it didn’t knock her off. She floated towards one of the walls of the sandstone beachhead that Leah made, standing on the board. ”I’m mobile. I can get around okay like this, I think. If anyone’s stalking us, maybe I can fly higher and call it out. How long can we afford to stay here?”
The prospect of a fight with bandits while she was in another universe made her nervous. Were they magical bandits? Were they werewolves, vampires, some other fantastical creature? And how many of them were there? Marlena didn’t want to fight anyone.
