"Elemental sorcery," Jaeger says shortly. Which is to say, it should have shredded the spirit at least temporarily. But he doesn't know the rules here, and the magic feels strange and foreign even as he gathers it.
Which leaves him back at the start, but he does generally know his business.
No quibbling: Jaeger moves when the young man does, not intending any noble gestures beyond what he's already done. He favors his right leg slightly, but he's a big man in good shape, and he's on the move nearly as soon as he's finished casting.
Behind them, the wails and weeping rises to a terrible crescendo, and...the walls. The labyrinth walls are fucking shifting, and Jaeger is grimly sure they aren't on their side. Why would they be?
"Watch out for the walls," he rasps between breaths. Grabbed from the sides, or cold, deadly hands from behind, the options aren't fantastic. Jaeger paces himself just enough to keep from leaving Edwin behind, while still extremely motivated to speed.
