As with before, Maria simply waited for the ritual to complete, arms folded all the while. The incantations sounded a bit more clear now, seeing as how they’ve had more time to prepare. Though, even as they began to reach a crescendo, Maria’s thoughts couldn’t help but wander to the potential world they would be visiting next. With any luck, it would be a bit more sunny, and not as old, dark and dusty as the previous-
FWOOSHSuddenly, all of Maria’s thoughts were interrupted by the brief moment of transportation, followed by the distinct feeling of falling, much like the first time they had teleported.

“M-My deepest apologies my Lord, I had- No, the Elders- No, dammit!” Maria stammered out, turning away from the Prince as she swore under her breath. Never in her life had she been subjected to
THIS type of humility. And in front of mercenaries no less! Once they had returned, she would have to confront those two old men and figure out
why they were doing this to her. One time she could chalk up to as coincidence, especially since everyone else at the time also fell into a large pile, but twice? When multiple others were able to land on their feat? That wasn't a coincidence, that must have been planned.
Thankfully, Maria's planning (or possible murder plot) was interrupted once again by Irina moving past her, causing Maria to snap her head towards her direction, then at the undead. Unlike normal however, instead of annoyance at having to deal with more undead, Maria seemed pretty joyful about the sight, quickly unslinging her bow from her shoulders,
“Ah, yes, undead, far more pressing matters. Forget all about what just happened my Lord, it is of no consequence."Maria goes up to (5,7) and Chakrams Skele B
