Chapter 37

Nipping the Pincer

I was about to take off to tell the others what I’d seen, when Wind of the Wild appeared beside me, dropping the clothes of Darkness at my feet.

“Forgot something,” he said into my mind with what looked like a grin. “You have company too, I see?”

“Yeah,” I replied as I slipped back into the clothes. “Bastards.”

“It’s not all of them. Around four thousand,” he replied.

“Yeah, I’ll let everyone know.”

“Interesting,” he said, stopping me in my tracks.

“What is?”

“They don’t know we are here and from what I can tell, their Paladins are all flying near the back. For someone who is apparently as strong as you think you are, it seems the perfect opportunity for a hit and run. Surprise attack?”

“You know, Wind of the Wild, when I first met you, you were like a wise old wolf, now you're like a bloody angry teenager. What gives?”

“I’m being driven from my home. You potentially have the power to help me return to it one day. And you realize I was not always docile and peaceful, right?”

“Yeah, I heard something about armies of Wultr,” I replied.

“Just stories. The truth is far more complicated. One day, I might share it with you. But for now, the deal you’ve made with Justice is already broken and now we must fight at the Palathi Peaks. Perhaps a thinning of the reinforcements is in order.”

“I agree. I’ll tell Sania to get everyone to stop and move. Try to flank those following us. I can stun them with Ethereal power. If the others wait for my attack, and then come in from the sides, we should be able to take them all out. They’ll pay for breaking the deal.”

“I will return to assist once the battle has begun.”

“Cool, Wind. We’ll be glad of the help,” I replied as he vanished. Shaking my head at his increasingly erratic behavior, I contacted Sania.

“Hey, hey.”

“Why are you not moving toward us?” she asked.

“Oh, just a little thing called four thousand troops of Justice following behind you when I transported back here.”

“I’m not surprised. So why are you still there?” she asked curiously.

“I was thinking we should maybe take them out. I’m assuming the troops around the Palathi Peaks won’t be planning on heading too far away if at all. So instead of us being jammed between them, we should probably hit them now.”

“I agree. They have made their choice.”

I explained what I thought we should do to Sania, Danivra, and Grigor, and they all agreed. Sania then described an area of ground that would give them cover, with a hilly area and a forest. They were about six miles apart, but they would work well if I began the attack between those two areas.

As I flew toward them, I scanned the dark landscape for the area Sania had described. Spotting the forest first in the darkness, my increased Perception overlaid with Singularity sight showed me the green energy that permeated the area, differentiating it from the faint blue of the air and the brown of the earth.
