"What do you mean you lost her?!" Calithar thundered at the witch who had just burst through the portal. He gripped his arm as a strong, burning sensation surged through his flesh. His right forearm was burning with small leaf-like structures decorating it. They had failed to get her through the portal and because of that, the part of his body that crossed through, had been burned seriously.
He knew it was useless but still placed his hand over it, pouring out his divine energy into it in the hopes of healing the wound even a little but it was all useless. He groaned in frustration as the burning only got worse, opening up more leaf-like structures on his arm. He was gravely irritated and annoyed by the way it looked at him that he felt like tearing them off his skin.
"Your highness. A vampire attacked me and snatched the girl from my hold." the witch said, trying to defend herself.
