You speak or you die

In the hallway,

Solara looked behind her to witness the portal closing.

Huff!

Huff!

Crouching, she held onto her chest.

Alta did the same but dropped to her knees, losing her balance as she fell on her back.

"What's going on?" Alta spoke in worry.

Forcing herself up, she used the walls to assist her being partly upright.

"I... I can't use my Sux!" Solara spoke in a panic, her hands trembling in disbelief and shock.

"Our lord!" Alta brought up the thought of this affecting them.

Without the use of her portal opening, and the inability to gain her strength, she had her fists clenched in worry.

"Kritz! Yes, we need to..."

Thud!

Alta's eyes bulged in shock at an unconscious Solara, reaching for her, she could see the corner of her eyes blacken and dim on her vision.

Letting out a cry in a sonic signal, she succumbed to her weakness and collapsed on the floor beside Solara.

In the grass plain,

'Are you sure they'd be safe and not interrupt?'
