Seeing his elder sister distraught like this was easily the most surprising and worrying thing he had ever seen. Varrin had never seen Isabella so distraught before. Thus he remained quiet and let her work while kept an eye out for any potential danger.Isabella follows up behind, hearing Varrin shout out. Looking at the ground, she figures out what happened. "No. No no no no no no. Fucking No!" She cries out in rage and sadness. Varrin doesn't recall ever seeing his eldest sister giving an outburst of emotion like this, he even sees her tearing up a little. "Fuck!" She sends a burst of magical force that shatters a branch in the distance.
Wiping her eyes, the sorceress works to compose herself. "Fuck. Okay, I think you're right. I can feel traces of magical energy here, so I think they used some sort of portal." She examines the air where the hoofprints end, though to Varrin it just looks like she's waving her arms around at nothing. "I might be able to figure out where they went, but not here."
The young man sighed after hearing Isabella's words. “Well, I guess there's nothing more we can do right now. Take whatever you need and let's go back, before something else happens.” He sighed again and tried not to let his worry overwhelm him – that would help no one, least of all Madeline.
