Morning, Orlaith and I moved forward through the forest.We had been mostly following Kerrigan who was flying above us, but I still watched what was going on on the ground. I obviously couldn’t neglect that even if we had eyes in the sky.We had been going at a steady pace earlier. Morning was walking beside me but we didn’t talk.Then Kerrigan increased his flying speed suddenly. There was no need to even ask what had happened. I was well aware of the mindlink between Kerrigan and Oisin. That meant that Oisin had sent Kerrigan a message that made him pick up the pace. Of course, Kerrigan could fly much faster but he still had to deal with us. We were slowing him down by tagging along.Once Morning and I saw Kerrigan’s change of pace, our brisk walk became a jog. We had to speed up to also keep up with Kerrigan. I had been somewhat tired after the fight with the first group of invocates was done, but it took me no time at all to regain my stamina. So I had a lot of restless en
I turned back again.I had slowed my pace drastically, but the men behind me had done the same.Things were no longer fun.In fact, this was actually bad. That’s because we were already stopping the chase and we were still far from the ambush point. The hunters were no longer allowing me to lead them by the nose.“Let’s stop here. This doesn’t feel right.” One of the hunters said. He was running at the head of the team so he might have been the leader. Once he suggested that they stop running, the others listened to him. They all stopped running abruptly. The only person that looked a little sultry about stopping was the arrow guy. I guessed he didn’t enjoy how he missed me every time.I glanced back and noticed all of that in a split second. But when I turned back forward, I didn’t stop running. Instead I ran ahead and hid behind some trees and shrubs just in front. My smaller body allowed me to hide well. I spied on the hunters from my new vantage point.Even though the last t
"Morning." I called out as Morning walked out of her previous hiding place in the bushes to meet with me."So it's over." She said.I glanced around what was now a battlefield. The bodies of the invocates littered the ground. It would be right to at least burn their bodies without just leaving them here. But time was very crucial."Not quite." I replied.Morning nodded. Her gaze also left our current position and moved to the distant forest around.But her expression hadn't changed much from when I saw her newly coming out of hiding.I frowned and wondered what was up with her. I thought about asking her directly but I held back. Now wasn't the time for something like that. There were much more important things going on at the moment."Are you alright?" I asked instead.Morning turned back to me. "Oh. Yeah." She said.I examined her body with my eyes. My eyes dilated as I saw her left hand. There was a thorn up cloth around it and I could clearly see blood around it. She had been ble
"Stop there!" The hunters screamed from behind me. There was a grin on my face as I ran forward. The wind rushed past my face and my heart raced. I had to admit that I was having fun! An arrow shot through the air and rushed past my face. It was close but it missed. Oh! I thought. That was really close. I immediately took a turn to the left. The hunters followed. I was leading them by the nose. One of them held a bow and he notched another arrow. He had only gotten the chance to shoot out two of them throughout the entire chase. It was harder than it looked to fire arrows mid run. I wasn't even running at my full speed. I knew that I would leave them in the dust if I did that. And I had instructions from Phoenix so I wasn't going to do that. I heard faint sounds coming from deeper in the forest. It was too faint for me to actually decipher what I was hearing, but I had a good idea of what was going on. That was because of Kerrigan! We had a connection and even over a distan
I drew my sword out of his neck and a spray of blood followed. My boots got unavoidably stained by it. But my facial expression was solemn. I was neither sad nor angry about the event.I looked around the battle ground.All the invocates were dead now. We had won. And neither Kerrigan, Orlaith or I had a single scratch on us. The plan had worked out perfectly and it was a flawless victory.Sol knew that we needed more wins like this. Honestly, it had been awhile since things went in our favor this well.But I wasn't overjoyed even with the good turnout of events.I looked back to what was now the dead body of the last invocate. The one I had killed last.When I had him dead to rights, I decided that it would be more beneficial to interrogate him. It was something that I couldn't do earlier because we were outnumbered.I obviously couldn't focus on trying to capture an invocate when we were outnumbered that much. Trying to be non lethal was a lot harder than just being lethal. If I wa
I ran past the ambush point and a feeling of anticipation crowded my heart. I was able to slow down and stop not to far away. I could have stopped in the clearing but I knew better than to do that. The last thing I wanted to do was to hinder Phoenix's ambush.I was able to get a very good vantage point to watch the entire fight. I stood behind a tree very close by and I watched. I kept my distance through out the fight to avoid being a distraction.The entire fight was very interesting to watch to say the least. I couldn't look away for a single second.At first I had been worried that Phoenix might be in trouble. I wondered whether I would be able to step in and help if it came to that. I had my own personal doubts about that. I knew that I would definitely try no matter what, but actually succeeding was another case. Even with my recent 'success' against a hunter I still didn't overestimate myself. So at first I watched with anxiety, hoping that nothing bad happened.But bad things
