The explosion sent them flying.
Elena and the Shaman crashed through the air as fire and shadow magic detonated between them, and the shockwave hurled them several blocks away from where Aiden and Callum were fighting. Elena landed hard and rolled across pavement before coming to a stop against a burning car. The Shaman hit a brick wall and cracked the stone on impact before dropping to the ground.
They stood up simultaneously.
Elena was on a different street now with burning buildings on both sides and corpses littering the ground from the invasion. The distant sounds of combat echoed from where they'd been separated, but she couldn't see the others anymore. The Shaman raised his bone staff and dark energy pulsed outward, then a massive wall of shadow erupted from the pavement cutting off the entire street. The barrier stretched three stories high and blocked both ends of the road.
They were isolated.
