-There's a barrier here.- The dragon stopped at the console and looked thoughtfully at the protruding crystals and empty spaces. He moved one of the crystals and a greyish barrier surrounded the entire ring. The floor of the ring and the ceiling above it sparkled with grey symbols that changed so smoothly that it was impossible to read the spell. - I said that you can't just isolate someone in a barrier, because it results in deeper trauma later on, but on the other hand, you need some kind of protection. - He smiled apologetically at the animorph, and Kei nodded quickly in understanding. The other three clearly also came to the conclusion that it was logical, but they were not happy about it at all. Draco took out the crystal and the barrier went out. The dragon touched another crystal and focused on his energy, gently beginning to pour power into the artefact until he felt it was fully charged. The reptile took his hand away and shook his fingers, trying to get rid of the unpleasant tingling sensation. Meanwhile, the soldiers approached and looked at the console.- There's enough energy to maintain the barrier for about thirty minutes. To activate it, you have to move this crystal here.- He pointed, knowing that they were watching him closely.- This is where you transfer the energy to maintain the spell.
-Now all we need is a dragon.- Vi sighed heavily.- We'll probably have to wait a little longer.- He patted Kei on the back.- At least now we know how and where.
-Not necessarily...- Draco muttered and, dodging the console, jumped onto the sand. The entire arena was thirty paces in diameter, so it was quite large. The dragon walked to the centre of the room. -It would be best to start right away, wouldn't it?- He turned to the soldiers.
-So you do know someone besides James in the city after all. - The elf probably meant to be sarcastic, but the relief in his voice was so clear that it overshadowed everything else.
-No. Unless you count everyone
