The group reached the Spire in no time.
Uriel hopped off Emrys' back first, and the others followed. The small fox then shrunk down to his usual form and leapt up to nestle himself on Uriel's head.
Though the man didn't have his luscious and fluffy hair anymore, it would do.
"…"
Uriel stopped mere inches away from the Spire, feeling the flowing waves of aether that danced with the pulsating runes etched across the crystal.
Looking at the Spire, he confirmed another theory he'd had.
'They were using Kael as a sort of experiment, but also as a Will-based formation that sealed the Spire itself. Every single person in the city is a node, and Kael is the heart of the formation.'
He frowned. 'But… why?'
Beyond the fact that this was a level of magic he hadn't even known was possible, he didn't understand the purpose.
As he understood it, the Will formation they'd made using the puppets and Kael's Will, spread across said puppets, didn't really seal the Spire itself.
