Back to back, the Wyldfae fend off a pair of goblins. Pike's staff is a blur. The magic he wields cuts with scythe-like precision. Wish's steel blade draws blood and howls, from her opponent. She pauses in dealing the death stroke as her name tickles through her soul.
"I hear, Mistress."
She thrusts hard, twisting the blade. The goblin shudders as he reaches for her. Wish pushes her magic toward the foul creature, trapping it in a column of nothingness. Pike murmurs, gesturing at the ground. Spears erupt from the ground, skewering his own foe. He watches as the tree roots slip back beneath the soil, letting the goblin crumple to the ground.
He takes Wish's hand and nods. "I hear, and we go. Now."
A breeze dances around them, lifting their hair to float around them in a halo. Wish closes her eyes as she moves her hand in a widening spiral. The trees around them fade, becoming mist. Pike leads Wish through the haze. Pike grounds his staff as Wish lets the doorway fade behind them.
Goblins lie dead around them. A small demifae flits to them and points. Following its direction, they soon find Erik cradling an injured Star. Pike circles around the couple, watching the woods as Wish makes her way to her Mistress' side.
