It was amazing how fast you could get to hate someone… and I mean real hate and not disgust.
I did not look towards the sound of Rex's laughter or the screams that were slowly fading; I already knew that Rex was killing them.
I did not have time to feel or care about what was going on when Commander Rel was in front of us.
And as I came up on one knee, I saw Bari casting Surge at her, even as she had resumed casting another spell above her hand.
He may not have known that I had survived, after all, he had just seen me blasted ten meters by an Adept, and instead of running or pleading for mercy like I know many would do, Bari attacked.
The cast left his staff with the weight Bari's casts always carried, and it crossed the four meters between him and Commander Rel. The Commander raised her free hand without looking at the cast, and the hand caught the Surge.
Caught.
