There is another group of monsters up ahead, just a little ways. Mikaela takes a few minutes to make sure he is mentally strong enough, before moving on. If he runs out of that energy, he won’t be able to cast anymore magic spells, and his physical strength is… pitiful, really. Maybe even weaker than a normal human.

Is that… a person in the middle of the monsters? Are they attacking someone? Eyes narrowing with concentration, he casts a fire spell on the closest monster. As it screeches in pain and moves aside, his suspicions are confirmed. Humans… they’re just as reckless and stupid as he remembers. Never mind his own situation.

Sighing a bit harshly, Mikaela lifts his staff and blasts another monster with a lightning spell this time, stunning it for the girl. Hopefully, she’ll take the hint and hit it with her own weapon.
