Prey in the trap

Once all the preparations were complete, everyone mounted on the helmis, keeping the same pairs as before.

Zagan then raised the defensive barrier surrounding the camp. 

The runes that formed a circle around them began to float up to a certain height and then successively faded away as if performing a countdown.

The paladin and the maiden brought up the rear of the formation, and before them was Duman with the veiled girl. The turquoise hair was braided by Mara and, instead of dragging on the ground, it now swung back and forth with the movements of the helmis. 

The woman's restless hands did not know where to lean to support herself.

At first, she put her hands on his lower back, but noticing that the hilmir's shirt was tighter than the previous uniform, she was forced to move them to his waist, but she couldn't hold on there either. In the end, she gave up and held on to the man's shoulders with some discomfort.
