Greed looked at a small, brightly-colored book in his hand.  "Interesting...  A barrier, you say?  Something really wants to keep us here.  But it didn't interfere with the magic you and I were just slinging around.  What if we just used it to move faster?"  Greed kept pace with the vampiress easily, leaving the arcane details to Jude's cautious voice in his mind.  Jude almost felt grateful to not be in his own body; the forest was a truly unpleasant place to walk through with sneakers and no socks.
