she couldn’t use it outside of her dungeon.

One moment she was in her Core Room and the next she was hovering over dying Raiders being chewed up and ripped apart by her creatures.  This close up, Tacca felt that they were in even more dire straits than they had just a second ago, though that could be just because of her proximity.

“What are you doing?  Get out of there!” Shale shouted after he saw her appear in the tunnel.  He was still down low trying to get her Canines to back off with his Repellant Shield and was having only a little luck dodging back and forth, interrupting an attack here and there.

 She couldn’t Teleport back even if she wanted to, because one limitation that she couldn’t bypass was using the Option when she was in the same room as a Raider.  She could Teleport in – but she couldn’t Teleport out.

Instead, she activated her own Repellant Shield using her Fairy Mana, in the hopes that if it came from the Core that was supposed to be in charge of them, that they would back off.  Unlike what seemed like everything else she had tried lately, the daring use of her Assistant Abilities to help the Raiders – and in front of her own Assistant – actually ended up working.  Within moments of activating the Shield, she felt an invisible barrier expand out from her much wider than it had ever been when she was a Fairy, forcing all of her creatures away from the Hill Dwarves.

They still tried to get to their victims, so she started to absorb them all; she hadn’t done it before because it took entirely too much time to do so and wouldn’t have made a difference previously, but now that they were held back she could easily remove them.  It would still take at least six minutes for them all to be fully absorbed, of course, though time wasn’t that big of a deal now that the Raiders were safe.

At least she thought they were, until she actually looked at them lying on the ground.

“What are you doing?  How are you doing that?” Shale asked with a shaky voice, thoroughly confused and perhaps a little frightened now.  Tacca was doing something that should’ve been impossible, but here she was doing it; he couldn’t necessarily see her actual Repellant Shield, but he likely recognized its effects.

“Not now, Shale – I’ll explain later.”  Ignoring her Dungeon Assistant for the moment, she activated her Healing Aura Ability in the hopes that it would start to heal the two Hill Dwarves – because they were quickly bleeding out from horrendous wounds.  The unconscious fighter-type was missing most of his armor, which had been torn off his body, and a lot of his skin had been ripped off in large patches; he also had a wound on his leg that appeared to have torn into something important, as the blood was freely flowing and not looking like it was going to stop.

As for the still-conscious and obviously in major pain spellcaster, her robe was in shreds and there were multiple minor wounds all over her legs, arms, and torso; the worst, however, was her neck area – where one of the Foxes had started to tear out her throat.  Tacca wasn’t an expert on Raider anatomy, but she estimated that both of them had less than a minute to live.  She had already discounted trying to create some sort of Healing Paralysis Trap underneath them because she didn’t have enough time, which was why she tried her Assistant-base Healing Aura.

It did absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, that made sense; it was designed only to heal herself as a Fairy and her creatures – not Raiders.  The Aura washed over them with no effect, though just on the edge of her Repellant Shield she saw one of her wounded Wolves – who appeared to have been stabbed by a flailing mace spike – start to heal up…so obviously her Ability was working.  It was disappointing after everything she had done to save them that she was too late; she knew she was going to have a lot of questions from Shale already, and she wasn’t going to get anything because of it.

It was all because of one simple thing.  I wish there was a way to make my Healing Aura consider them my creatures or even part of the dungeon; that might do it, but I can’t think of anything—

She brought her Dungeon Assistant Information up again and searched for something her mind insisted was there…

Aha!  There it is!  She had no idea what it would do, but she figured it couldn’t hurt now; she activated her Bond Ability and selected both Raiders; she felt 100 Fairy Mana drain from her Core as an invisible tendril shot out towards each of the Hill Dwarves dying on the floor.  As soon as they connected, she saw them both twitch uncontrollably – widening some of their wounds in the process – and then her mind slammed to a halt.

Her concentration and awareness felt like the time she unexpectedly smashed into a wall when she was learning to fly as a young Fairy, but instead of pain and shock, all she felt was shock.  The feeling lasted for what felt like hours before it slowly ebbed away; by the time she could really concentrate on the world around her again, she found that she was still hovering over the two Raiders, which
