"Right." he responded, just as Jake stepped through the doors, and paused when he saw her bleeding.

"...holy shit." he muttered.

"The HELL happened to YOU?" he asked her, before looking at the new person suspiciously.

"I am in possession of something that is actively hurting her right now, and I can't stop it." the man responded.

"...you need some of those mana blockers, Izzy?" Jake then asked the one that had been at the guard station.

"...." Jake was silent, before shaking his head.

"Go to Ty's office." he told her.

"You know they have the pills that'll do it for you." he said. They would give them right to her for her to have, but they were VERY habit-forming. And she was fine with not having instant access, anyway.

"I'll talk to this guy." he finished.

The man was silent as he saw this, before looking at Jake.

"...a goblin." he said.

"Indeed." Jake responded.

Meanwhile, as if something had rippled through the building when the man had let slip the presence of what was in the backpack, Hazel heard Ty jolt awake with a start, and when she looked over towards him, she noticed something; her 'sight' of him was starting to dim.

"...what the...?" Ty mumbled, shaking his head a little and getting his bearings.

"I..." Ty stammered.

"Surprisingly." he said.

"I still feel... crappy, but... I don't feel like I'm going to continuously just keel over and wither." he told her.

"I mean, not as quickly, anyway." he then muttered.

They then heard a knock on the door, and Ty looked over towards it.

"Open!" he called, seeing Izzy, sans glamour, and bleeding from the ears, step inside.

"...the hell happened to YOU?" he asked. "And are you all right?"

"...right." Ty responded, making his way to the desk and searching for something. He then pulled out a medication bottle, and opened it, tapping out two pale blue pills and handing them to her.

"Here." he said.

"And he just got through the barrier?" he asked.

"Geez, first Jane does, and now ANOTHER one?" he muttered.

"Is that barrier failing or something?" he wondered.

"...and a box...?" he then realised.

Ty was just a human. But even HE felt the pulse of mana.

He almost fell over from it, and looked around drastically.

"What the HELL." he said.

"What was THAT?" he asked.

"..." he was then silent, before looking at Izzy.

"...was that the man that just arrived...?"

"Get to your dorm." Ty told her.

"Pop those pills, get to your dorm, and stay there until you feel better." he said.

"Please." he continued.

"Just hurry back, and we won't call on you for anything until YOU tell us you're better." he promised her.

"Okay?" he asked.

"You can do that?"

"..." Ty was silent as Izzy left, shaking his head.

"That's... alarming." he said.

"But I FELT that." he told Hazel.

"I can't even BEGIN to imagine how it... seemed for YOU." he said further.

"But I get the feeling we'll be getting more details soon."

"Geez..." Ty muttered.

"That's... frightening. Legitimately frightening." he told her.

He then shook his head, as he heard people approaching, and called out to them.

"Open!" he yelled.

Jake and the new person stepped inside, with Jake taking his leave to get back to the security desk, and the man looking at Ty.

"You're in charge here?" he asked.

"We both are, effectively." Ty responded.

"I did not know you had one such as her here." he responded.

"I assure you I did not mean to injure her." he said. "Will she be all right?" he asked.

"She should be." Ty told him.

"Anyway, why are you here, and HOW are you here?" he asked.

"I'm here because something needs to be done about this world situation." the man responded. "And the perks of what I am means I can ignore a LOT of barriers in this world." he added.
