Roxie, Orson, and I made our way to Cyra's mansion.

Roxie shivered as she stared at the creepy-looking statues. "Is it just me or does it feel like we're being watched?"

"Stand back," I instructed Roxie and Orson as I stepped forward. Concentrating, I used my wind mana to break the barrier, but its resilience surprised me. It was strong, stronger than anything I'd encountered before.

"It's not breaking," Orson noted, his voice filled with hints of concern.
