"Corvus!"
It's not one of the voices in the bridge. It feels like it's echoing through your head. And it's making it really hard to focus.
Doesn't help matters when another voice starts talking in there.
"What is taking so long? I already sensed Azel fleeing! Was that your doing?"
"Corvus!"
The second voice is very clearly Carma's. Must be able to talk through the illusion spell or something. Which gives you worries about what else she can do through it.
"Are you a traitor -"
"Corvus!"
"- or merely incompetent? In either case, I see no reason to prolong your misadventures."
"Corvus!"
"Return to me at once, or else."
Ugh. So much for eavesdropping. Seems you've got to take care of Carma sooner rather than later, and the wizard's your best shot at that.
At least Carma's voice isn't bugging you any more, though whoever's calling your name still seems to be at it. You head downstairs and rush for the open door.
And then the voice shouting your name seems to get very insistent. Just as you open your mouth, it starts shouting louder. You can barely focus enough to speak.
But, with great difficulty, you manage to get one word out. You hope the wizard understands it.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
