Theo is in the air, flying toward the meeting point, already starting to regret his decision to go all the way there. He has overestimated Thea's body's strength and underestimated the lack of mana in this world.
It's like trying to breathe at high altitude. He struggles to keep flying while maintaining both his shield and his Aldriana's appearance. He realizes he has to choose one between those three. In his current condition, he can only do one.
He groans in frustration. Fine! He decides, drops the shield and illusion, speeding up.
------------------------------
While Theo is struggling, Julian updates Arthur about what Liam had said about Aldriana and their conversation.
"She really said that? She chose Thea to come forward?"
Julian nods. "That's what Liam said. And I highly doubt he was lying." He takes a deep breath and continues, "Art, if Aldriana can do all the things Liam said, then she's extremely powerful. Having her in our corner would help tremendously."
