"What happened?" Reize asked from behind him.
Damian himself had no idea what exactly had transpired. Leaving the oddity of the red knight aside, the reason for the sun temple to come for Reize so aggressively was also mysterious.
"The man just exploded," Damian replied.
The firestorm finally lost its power, leaving behind a few burning trees, a scorched giant crater, and hot, suffocating air. Damian opened a waygate back to Toph in his runic lab and then used dozens of water spells to douse the fire burning the trees.
Damian turned around to find the three staring at the water sources.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go," he said, jolting them awake from their trance.
The two sisters exchanged glances. Reize nodded slightly. The girl stepped towards the blue portal alongside Reize; the boy was right behind them as well. Noticing him, Reize turned back,
"We are far away from here. To the Sanctuary. Are you sure you want to come? You won't be able to come back here."
