Chapter 13: Musings

Leander really tried to clear his mind, but it kept wandering around his thoughts. He remembered how he had managed to hold out for ten whole minutes against both Morris and Dorian during his last spell slot.

He had managed it by circling mana around the barrier constantly. So, that, once there was a crack, the mana automatically went to fill it without Leander even thinking about it.

He had watched the two as they charged and sidestepped one another, Morris being more mindful of not rushing over Dorian and Dorian giving Morris signs to where he was moving to.

But then, just as the tenth minute had rolled around, the two rushed at the same spot like raging bulls and had hit the barrier with all they had. Dorian bashing it with his shield and Morris doing a risky maneuver by swinging the axe close to Dorian's head.
