His magic was...off, after arriving to this new world.
Mithra’s first thoughts were, unfortunately, that something had happened to Rutile or Mitile. But...if that were the case, then he shouldn’t be able to summon his magical tool. Which was also...off, he had noticed.
The crystal skull gifted to him by the boys’ mother had completely changed into a candy skull which, by all means, shouldn’t have been possible. And yet, he couldn’t get it to change back no matter what he tried.
On top of that, it seemed like he was only able to teleport; except he couldn’t teleport any further than a certain distance - that being the length of an entire one of these “wards” scattered around the circular city. Which meant, he had no hopes of teleporting home, not to mention, teleporting anymore than five times a day.
( That one, he found out the hard way. )
Still...maybe they’d be able to find some magical hotspots around that could aid them? That was the only thing Mithra could really think of trying, which lead them on another teleporting spree, opening door after door to try and find whatever he could.
But on the third door, after opening it up, they noticed that someone was peering in curiously - a woman with an odd headpiece that appeared almost like elongated cat ears. Well...it wasn’t a reaction they hadn’t seen before, but it was a little irritating when they were trying to complete a task.
So, the redhead stepped through the doorway and closed the magical wooden door behind them, giving off a small sound of acknowledgement to her presence before he went to try and move past her.
