There's something different about this next world. He can tell by the way his magic reacts to it. It's almost like it's... eager.
He doesn't dare hope.
He opens a door, in the middle of nowhere, and Crystal flies through before him. What he sees on the other side is—
It doesn't just make an illusion of the place right away, but the aura learns and...
...it shows a view of space and it follows the thread, they can even recognize the star system before the illusion zooms in on an austere looking space-station and then on a prison cell where Gabe is being held.
The cell is basically a stone cubicle. The average person could possibly sleep with their body straight, but Gabe has to curl up on the cheap mattress.
He is bruised and bloodied in a way that looks... deliberate.
Similar situation, but he is awake and he is crying.
...and is missing half of his tail.
Oh, I already know which system and which planet that is. I looked up likely locations while we were still orbiting Zenith.
"Maybe I can use this for generalised spying—" He tries to pan and zoom his illusion. "...no."
We could keep an eye on the captured. Some information can be acquired that way. ...Do you think you could use this to communicate?
"I'm not yet specialised enough in this world's magic to be able to do that, but it might be possible."
"Better not start with a prisoner... Could you show me my dad?"
And the illusion follows along to... the same prison station as before.
And shows Temperance's dad in a cell. Better than the one where Gabe and Isra are being held captive, but still a cell. The man is less injured, but still injured.
