"Uh, what's going on with him?" Inquired Altan, as Katie swooped down and landed beside us.
"Let's save the explanations for later. But I'll say this much, he can't maintain this for long, and it'll take a toll on him afterwards," She informed us with a grimace.

I turned to see the ground cracking rapidly beneath its feet, my eyes widening in realization...crap, it's trying to get away!
