The space around Aleyria collapsed inwards as she teleported herself away. Everyone looked at the empty space where Aleyria disappeared in horror and then quickly turned to look at the banshee leader which was almost upon them.
Space rippled from behind it and Aleyria calmly stepped out.
She raised her hand at the lead banshee and a brilliant light erupted from her. It was so bright that it blinded everyone present.
Kan-Dari and Shira screamed in shock and immediately fell to the ground. Liz'An howled and clutched at her eyes, trying to protect it from the light. The dragon outside the barrier roared mightily.
Alexander bent his head down, closed his eyes, covered it with his hands and counted to five. After that he opened it and tried to look for Aleyria.
The light had died out and there was no trace of the lead banshee or of Aleyria.
