It was a bright, sunny day that Kir entered into, the moment he left Aeleas behind, arriving at the edge of the bubble that surrounded the City of Mages. He arrived alone, but he could distantly sense the most powerful of his loved ones in random directions.
He turned, testing the space behind himself and finding a wall there. Invisible, and comprised of mana shifting in such intricate formations that it appeared to truly be the surface of a watery bubble in manasight. Only it did not show the outside world through itself, but a blurry reflection of where he stood, in which he did not appear.
He sensed that beyond it, time was moving far faster than within the sphere. Aeleas had been true to her word. She was slowing time within the sphere... and perhaps even doing so for other cities. But that was neither here nor there as far as Kir was willing to explore.
