"No, nothing can cross the bridge," Barkeley said as he saw Muroe flying back. "Most people wouldn't be dumb enough to try swimming."<br/><br/>"Its an elemental," Muroe said as he transformed back into his human form just before landing. "But its not like any elemental I've seen before."<br/><br/>"Oh god..." Barkeley said under his breath before turning to Tea. "Tea, Muroe, take Aurora inside. This thing is well beyond either of your abilities. Let me, Imrik and Kara deal with it."<br/><br/>"What is it?" Tea asked, staring across the lake where a strange shadowy shape was visible just below the water heading straight towards them.<br/><br/>"Its a shadow elemental," Barkeley replied. "Unbelievably rare but extremely powerful and very very dangerous if you don't know how to fight it. The magic required to summon one alone is enough to kill an unprepared wizard."
