Outside the dreamscape, only a moment had passed between SkyfyreAumia’s arrival and emergence. J’Ramzœ emerged face to face with Aumia’s pearlescent eye. Her head was tucked inside her wings, folded around him and Skyfyre, who knelt beside him, with his boy’s body hugging his father’s head in a shielding fashion.
Aumia unfolded herself as father and son stood up. The scene that greeted them was a chaotic tableau. The wyrm and their sha’kri were defeated. The guardsmen were tying up the wyrm in nets and holding their halberds warningly at the grounded and battle wounded sha’kri.

The sha’kri shield around J’Ramzœ and SkyfyreAumia shimmered, then sparked out in that same moment. Aumia emitted a murmuring drone and a cluster of the sha’kri company that had arrived with her and Skyfyre vanished with a mild boom followed by a whoosh of air into the space where they had been. They reappeared almost immediately with a rushing wind that momentarily made it difficult everyone to keep to their feet.
