Coming up to greet him were, naturally, Emma and Astrid on the former's golden disk, and Elora, now in human-size and using her beautiful purple-pink wings to propel herself upwards.
Worry etched their faces, but when they saw an unharmed Erik waving calmly and smiling at them, they quickly relaxed. When they met up, Elora reached him first and quickly caught him in a princess carry.

Despite his considerable power, his weight was only two or maybe three times that of a regular human—easily carried by her third-rank Arcanist strength.
