[Two words. Iskandar needs only two words to go from worried to fully horrified. Magic and haywire. The description Caster delivers sounds like a catalogue of Iskandar's own greatest fears. Frankly, he has no idea what he would do if he wasn't able to call Satya or Waver back, to think, even for a moment that he might - he shivers at the mere thought of it -
lose them ...
One looks convince him that Caster is calm, worried sick but yes, calm. Iskandar cannot help but marvel what strength of will must have gone into this calm. He doubts he would ever be this collected himself in a similar scenario. All the magical explanation probably makes sense to Waver but for Iskandar, it only serves to demonstrate how out of his depth he is. It matters not. There must be something he can do.
Yet nothing, no amount of explanation or warning can prepare him for what he sees when they finally reach their destination.]
Γλυκιά Ἥρα Βασίλεια!
[If anything shows the extent of Iskandar's shock at the sight is the invocation of Hera, Queen of the Greek Gods. The only goddess who would most happily kill him on the spot if she only knew he existed. But this is reflex. Unrestrained reaction to horror.]
