What Just Happened:

Kaleera rushes into battle against Eltoreq without hesitation. She should have the upperhand with the moon enhancing her abilities, unfortunately for her, Eltoreq is also enhanced by the red moon. Far more than normal means, in fact, and she is defeated. She falls to the ground blood soaked and limply, only to be picked up by Kelthan. Eltoreq leaves with an ominous promise for more battle later. Vaela manages to save Kaleera, and then the five regain their bearings and continue with their original mission. The fog they’re in, however, clouds all of Kaleera’s senses, so she cannot navigate them through it easily. Another beautiful battle scene ensues in the issue.
