Insa took a deep breath and flicked the chip into the air.

Once again it flew a few feet into the air before hovering. She snapped rapidly four times and then it fell.

As it hit the ground the world exploded in a blinding flash of white. 

When the regained sight they were in the gardens at the base of the temple. Zelos sat a short ways off on a picnic blanket with a spread of food in front of him. This time their regular clothes had been replaced with something slightly more formal but still very similar to their regular clothing.

A wide smile spread across Zelos' face as he saw them. "Oh good! You found your friends!"

She followed them as they went to sit down.

Clinic: Infirmary

As the two crossed the threshold to the med wing a faint buzzing could be heard. 

A short nurse rushed over to them. “How can I-“ She stopped, looking them over. 

She snapped quietly twice and a wheelchair made it’s way over to them.

She pointed to it. “Sit. We’ll make our way over to an examination room and I need you to tell me what happened.”

Veer sits in the wheelchair, wincing at the touch of his leg. “I tried to overthrow the King, back in my world. One of his advisors snuck up behind me, somehow, and messed with my Gift. This happened-“ he gestures to the metallic rash “-but I was also shunted here somehow and picked up and threw everything I noticed. It went away for a bit, but then I lost my powers for a moment, felt like my soul was being drained, and the rash started to spread.” 
He breathes wrong, or something, and gasps in pain again, but goes back to rambling. “I managed to get Timothy and Charlie into a cell beforehand, but then I melted down entirely. That should probably be looked into - I chewed through around a half dozen floor while I was levitating - but the actual damage here, other than this soul-sucking excuse for spellsteel, is from me falling a half dozen stories back out of the sky.”

"Well, it was nice to meet you," Aora said to Par. "I'm just going to . . . look around a bit more."

And with that, she walked away down the hallway.

There’s a big vertical hole where Veer levitated into the air, telekinetically tearing things to shreds as he went full meltdown. It goes from the prison cells to whatever is four or five floors above them. Oh, and then he shot a bunch of metal bars, bricks, pilewood fragements, and other building supplies is all directions at the top, probably punching through more walls. That might be noticeable.

Just a little 

Aora turn a corner and saw that the floor and ceiling had been absolutely decimated. She gasped.

"What happened here?" she whispered to herself, cautiously approaching the gaping hole in the floor. She looked down to see if she could find the cause.

???

“I would like to present a counter offer if possible. I know that you are currently deciding whether or not to make a deal with Saar that involves one of my temples but I’m not aware of further details. And I’m afraid I must be filled in on the details of that deal in order to properly form a counter offer.“

Clinic: Infirmary 

The nurse nodded as they entered the examination room.

”Well I’m afraid that because our head doctor isn’t here at the moment your healing may take a little longer but I should be able to patch you up.”

The wheelchair carefully moved him onto a hospital bed while she started some paperwork.

”My name is Ella and of course I will be taking care of you during this stay.” She said as she turned around.

”What’s your name and how much of you is being affected by the metal stuff?”

Quote

I just want to say that I imagined him speaking with a rather heavy accent and I’m not sure why Thats just the way my brain processed it.

There’s blood on the floor, an open prison cell with a corpse inside, and an roughly spherical area at the bottom of the hole where everything seems to have been torn out: cell bars, wall bricks, stair planks, even concrete has been shattered and ripped away in that spheric.

I can see that. You know what, let’s give him an Edge accent. 

The man tries to stop the nurse from touching the strange corruption of magic that makes up his rash. “Well, my name’s Veer. Spellsteel is supposed to be for channeling magic through - some people have the Gift to make it, or manipulate it, but anyone can channel their gift through it. It makes magic more focused, more precise, and over time, it lets others use your magic through it. For instance, I have this circlet -“ he touches the silver circlet on his head, which has prismatic reflections - at least, until it gets near the rash on his face. He tugs at it, but it’s stuck to the corrupted spellsteel. “Oh no. That is likely bad… nothing we can do about it now, though. Normally, my power is to change which way things are moving without slowing them down or speeding them up. It’s why they call me Veer. But since that advisor messed with my magic, I’ve made things float into the air, and torn things apart with incredible force. And it feels like I’m always channeling through the rash, like it’s syphoning power out of me; right before I lost control it was pulling my physical strength, not just magical. When I melted down, it grew a lot; I think that it made me overload so it could take more power. Or the advisor made it do that every so often - I don’t think it can think.” He moves the metal arm. “I don’t feel very much from the metal areas, but I can move them, and they seem as strong as normal spellsteel - I fell on this arm as well as the leg.”

Aora gasped when she saw the body. "Oh!"

She stumbled back and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she turned and swiftly headed a different direction, shaking.

What happened? she thought worriedly.

Ella nodded. “Alright then. Is there anything I can or need to do to help make sure that…” she motioned to the metal areas, “…that… isn’t hurting you or causing any damage?”

“How should I know? Maybe some advisors would know exactly what to do, but I grew up in the Lawless. But I feel fine, for now. I’ll definitely need a way to not destroy everything if I melt down again, but it’ll probably take some magical specialist to fix the spellsteel. Do you think you can deal with the broken leg and ribs, though?”

Zelos folded his arms.

”Fair. None of you really know me. What can I tell you or do for you that would help build that trust?“

Ella nodded. “Of course I can! I’m not the head doctor so it’ll take a little more time and energy on my part but I am more than equipped to help you there.”

She started to make soft swirling motions with her left hand. Soft pricks of gold light started to appear in the air and gather around her hand.

”If you could possibly lay down this will work better. But if you can’t or it hurts too much you can stay sitting.”

She absently rubbed its head, wondering what caused it.

She heard voices through a nearby doorway. Walking over, she peaked into the room. There was someone laying on a bed. He seemed to be injured, though it was hard to see through the thin slit in the doorway. It sounded like he was talking to someone. She moved a little closer.

Veer lies down on the hospital bed, setting his own leg by lifting it and redirecting the movement. Somehow, it seemed it didn’t work as well as it had in the past.

Veer left the destroyed area to go to the med wing. So you wouldn’t be there (unless you went looking to see if someone could resurrect Charlie.) Charlie was @SpiritOfWrath, by the way. 
Edit: I don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re fine.

It clicked its beak. He’ll be fine. Again, it was the doorman’s voice.

She continued watching curiously. Maybe she could help the man she'd seen through the hole in the floor?

Clinic: Infirmary

The last couple pricks of light gathered in her hand. Ella started to slowly walk around the bed and flakes of light started to float away and land on Veer. The appeared to be absorbed by his skin.

A warm sensation filled the room as the last bits of light floated away from Ella’s hand.

“Hold still okay?”

She turned to a cabinet and started to pull some wraps out.

“Is it alright if I put these on you? They’ll help hold everything in place while the healing happens.”

He would be able to feel the magic starting to heal the breaks in his bones.

Zelos motioned to the temple. “Well there are people who build these temples for me and store offerings inside. They put years and tons of effort and energy into them. In return I do my best to protect them. But these temples are built in a way that if the offerings were ever taken from them they are destroyed. Recently this has been happening more and more often. I want to be able to preserve the remaining temples as much as possible to show my appreciation. From what I’ve heard it seems Saar wants one of the offerings.”
