Chapter 11

“We need to get out of here now. Everyone change quickly into your battle armor, and then transform. Acacia you ride on Leander, Topaz you ride on my back,” Gwythyr ordered. Everyone did as they were told and they took off at a fast run. Naomi transformed into a caracal as Denzel transformed into his wild form. Leander became a cougar as Gwythyr transformed into a mountain goat with gold horns. Acacia hopped onto Leander’s back and grabbed a small handful of fur for balance. Topaz hopped onto Gwythyr and grabbed hold of his horns as if they were handles. The odd-looking group took off at high speeds, with Leander leading the way. They took only the hidden paths until they came to the training area and were forced to cross the field. They took it slow and cautious as they crossed the field, as they felt like there might be danger nearby.

They were near the middle of the field when they were attacked. The father--Denzel’s human father--charged at them with a long sword at the ready, but that wasn’t what caught them by surprise. It was Esme, the kelpie--she was watching from the other side of the field with a weighted titanium chain at her hip. The group scattered before Denzel’s human-form father got to them. Gwythyr was the slowest to get out of the way of the man’s wild swing. His sword caught Gwythyr in the hind leg and sliced deep before Gwythyr got out of range.

Gwythyr collapsed from the pain, sending Topaz falling a short distance past his head. Naomi saw what happened and doubled back, charging at the man. The man was distracted with Topaz and Gwythyr. Naomi caught his attention by leaping up over him, then swinging a clawed paw at the man’s legs. She caught him with her claws and sent him falling to the ground startled. Naomi quickly transformed while he was disoriented, then grabbed her sword and held it at the ready. The man swung his right leg towards her, hoping to knock her down as he turned onto his back. Naomi simply backflipped out of the way.

The man used this as a chance to get back to his feet. He glared at Naomi as she held her sword in front of her. He still had his sword so he charged at her. Naomi slid one foot back ready to fight as she was planning to stand her ground. She glanced at where Denzel and the leaders were watching from. Leander and Acacia had helped Gwythyr and Topaz get away from the area of the fight. The man swung his sword towards her aiming to slice her from the left . Naomi blocked with ease as his strike was almost predictable, but she underestimated the strength of his swing. Her blade was almost pushed into her face before she managed to force it to hold fast. The man was close enough that Naomi could feel his hot breath. “You will be the first to fall.
