The Ring of Venus
Videl who was caught up in the magic circle was surprised to see herself inside the Guild Master's room. Even Clara and the others were teleported. Everyone except for Natalia and Ruby was shocked by this sudden teleportation.
For a brief moment, nobody spoke.
The transition had been so sudden that their minds struggled to catch up.
One second they had been standing on a devastated battlefield surrounded by ash, shattered earth, and the lingering heat of a dragon's destruction.
The next—
They were standing inside a spacious room filled with bookshelves, maps, and stacks of documents.
The scent of old parchment replaced the smell of burning bone.
The silence felt almost unreal.
"W-What just happened?" Brinda blurted out.
Clara looked around cautiously.
"We teleported."
"Thank you for that brilliant observation," Brinda replied.
"I'm serious."
"You always sound serious."
Ruby chuckled despite her exhaustion.
Natalia shook her head.
"As expected."
