"What's the situation?" I asked, running to R'lissea.
She gestured at the battle raging between Korra, Gayron, and the eighth-level mage, grumbling, "I was doing just fine by myself against the mage, but as soon as we made it here, they told me to stay out of it. I'm just holding back his summons and the city guards."
I nodded, giving the entire cathedral an appraising look. The upper half of the once beautiful building was gone, and what remained was left in ruins. Corpses littered the rubble, ranging from priests to adventurers to soldiers. R'lissea's life elementals and animated plants formed a living wall around the perimeter of the shard. A large cluster of trees had enveloped a third of the room, so thick that my eyes couldn't penetrate it.
"The reinforcements?" I asked, nodding at it.
