We bus our plates and take our leave. Fortunately, the recent battle is a perfect excuse to charter a carriage to the western wall. It takes three days for a magicsource to replenish to full capacity after expending all its energy. Well, 2.71828 days—the same as the base of natural logarithms, an important number in quantum-magical equations—but who’s counting?
The Eldrians don’t know I didn’t wield a single thread of magic at Torvel. They think I’m unable to teleport because I’m still recharging, so our request doesn’t raise suspicion.
The carriage that arrives is borne on an airmagic enchantment, hovering two feet off the ground for the gentlest of rides. It’s also more economical than horses during wartime. Airmagic doesn’t need to eat, nor does it take up valuable stable space.
