Calix's body was violently expelled from the dungeon as the shimmering gate behind him collapsed into the nothingness.
Thud.
His unconscious, battered body hit the forest floor hard, rolling once before coming to a stop.
Blood still flowed freely from the gaping wound in his chest, soaking into the grass and soil beneath him.
A short distance away, his horse jerked its head up.
It neighed anxiously and rushed toward him, it's hooves striking the ground in panic as it sensed its master's condition.
However halfway there, it stopped or rather was forced to stop.
As a shimmering blue barrier erupted out of thin air, expanding instantly and forming a protective dome around Calix's body.
The horse snorted and pawed the barrier, however it was unnaturally sturdy as no matter how much it striked it, the barrier didn't even budged.
Unable to pass through the barrier, the horse circled around it and just stayed still looking at it's master.
