My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

Well that wasn't ominous or anything. I look at her, not even trying to hide the worry I feel. Why does this have to come down to me being able to handle the spell? I don't even know what the spell is. "Let's go, you'll see. We have the rest of your team together. Gentlemen." She places an arm around my shoulders.

I look over my shoulder at the men following me. If he's my anchor, that makes sense why I am drawn to him and why he can help me with the magic, but what about the other two?
