Alice found herself inside a forest.
Dry black trees rose around them, their bark cracked like burned stone.
Pale mist hung between the trunks, and the air smelled like iron and wet soil.
The Veyr and the Khaldrin dropped to their knees the moment they landed.
Their faces were pale, and their chests heaved.
Alice steadied herself and looked around.
"How far did we move?" she asked, turning to the Veyr.
He swallowed hard and wiped blood from his mouth. "I used all my strength. It should be at least a hundred miles."
A hundred miles was not far enough to relax, but it was enough to buy time.
If it's Alice in the past she could easily pass this distance within second, but now they all lost their power.
Alice looked at the Khaldrin. "Do you still have strength? We need to move."
The Khaldrin nodded,"I can walk. But I couldn't fight much."
The Veyr shook his head. "I can't teleport again for at least an hour. I also can't do help in a fight."
Alice nodded.
