The lightforged mage watched silently as the two gnomes talked, it was quite apparent to him that Smuggs was deteriorating… A sad thing to see, but Arcar had dealt with years of war with the legion, it wasn’t something he hadn’t seen before… The mage was ready to act when he was called, he saw the relationship between Smuggs and Zassion, the caring aspects reminded him of his team… They were dead now, but they had been like a family to Arcar, more than any other… The mage now had only Zodal as a lightforged ally close to him…
Things only seemed to get worse between Zassion and Smuggs, the affliction was finally fully taking over the gnomes mind… Arcar dropped his head as a sign of respect before he heard Zassion call out!
Arcar had discussed with Zassion to do this long ago when the gnome spoke of his father… It was now the time! Arcar’s eyes flashed open and with a blue tint before the mage sent freezing ice at the gnome! Before Smuggs even got within inches of bashing Zassion’s head in with the rock he had been frozen solid! Smuggs’s face was bent in a snarl a rock in his hand a position frozen solid… Arcar sighed, this was not a respectable way for the young son to see his father, exhaling loudly the lightforged purposely frosted over the ice to obscure the gnomes form within…
Arcar looked over at Zassion, the young gnome was taking things very hard… Even with the apparent hard relationship the gnome still cared for his father… Arcar glanced at Zodal before placing his hand on his shoulder, It was all the communication Arcar would make… Arcar felt for the gnome but truly understood they had to move on, staying in the past only led to great darkness.
Arcar moves over to the pylon and platform that had been teleported down, with a quick few gestures he moved the frozen Smuggs closer… Whenever they were ready they would warp the gnome out and to a place where they could safely store and monitor his vitals…
