"We need reinforcements! I repeat we need reinforcements in the forest team!"
The voice crackled through the communication crystal like a flare in the night. One of the rogues from the Loose Leash team was shouting, panic barely hidden in his voice.
Kaelen, who had just finished healing another wounded veteran, snapped his head toward the sound.
"What's going on over there?" he asked into his own crystal.
"The bird-headed tyrant's going wild! We've lost formation. Too many down, Derek's holding it alone. If this keeps up, we're gonna lose people for real!"
Kaelen's expression darkened. He turned to the nearby transporter from Hather's support group. "Get ready to jump. Take us there now."
The caster nodded and chanted a short spell. A bright ring of light spread beneath them, and in the next moment, they vanished, reappearing near the forest's edge.
