Cara’s sensitive nose soon told her that she was not far from her young charge.
The barrier she had erected wasn’t a full dome, as it should have been, but she didn’t expect someone to have the nerve to actually blow up the Royal Palace during an attack.
So, when the collapse occurred, she only had a barrier between them and the room. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
However, Karl kept an Eternal Lightning barrier over Rue at all times, just in case of emergency. A precaution that was paying dividends now.
Cara put [Disintegrate] on her claws as she transformed, and began digging through the rubble in the direction that her senses said that she would find Rue. It had to be this way, she could still smell Karl’s magic, and that was impossible to miss.
Rue was only a few metres away from her, Cara realized.
The floor had collapsed, which had dropped Rue and Mildred into the room beneath them, while the building collapsed.
The destruction had caused most of the room to be left intact, with only a portion collapsed under the strain. So, when Cara cut her way through the floor, she found the other two huddled in a corner, intact, but highly stressed.
Cara nudged Rue with her nose, as she couldn’t speak in badger form, and the panicked Dragonkin screamed.
Right, she couldn’t see in the dark.
Cara’s laughter told Rue who is was immediately, and she wrapped her arms around the furry miscreant.
"We thought that you were dead. The whole hallway collapsed, and you were gone under the rubble." She cried.
Cara transformed back and gave the Princess a hug.
"I’m fine. Not much gets through that barrier. How is Mildred?" Cara asked.
The consort smiled into the dark. "Just a little beat up. I might not have had a barrier on me, but I do have defensive items. The question is how long it will take for someone to find us. The door is blocked with rubble, there is no light, which means little air circulation.
So, if we remain in here too long, we will suffocate."
Cara shrugged. "I can dig us out, no problem, Someone made this place out of Mythic Rank stone, and it’s a real pain to cut through, but I can do it. But I suspect that if we just wait here with a barrier over us, Karl will come and find us in a few minutes.
He has the good earth magic, so he can move stones. Or, they can just go all dragon and hurl them away like in a drama."
Mildred’s panic began to fade at the assured tone of the badger’s voice. Cara was so confident that they weren’t in any actual danger, only inconvenienced by the fact that the door was blocked, that it was impossible not to follow her lead.
