Chapter 34
Ifeel like Iâve just fallen asleep when someone jumps on the bed. Rough hands wrap around my sides before a familiar chest presses into me.
âAre you awake?â Sora asks softly.
âI am now,â I grunt.
âGood!â she chirps. âItâs officially your birthday!â
Groaning, I roll over in her arms. Face to face, I ask, âWhy did you wake me up so early?â
âBecause itâs your birthday! And I have a special treat for you!â
âOh? And what sort of treat will it be?â
âIâm not telling. You just need to get up and get dressed. In your armor and bring your staff.â
âOkayâ¦?â Frowning, I pull away from Sora and start getting up. Getting dressed wonât take long, but my curiosity is peaked.
âWhere is Poe and Ashe?â I question.
âThey are already waiting for us.â Smiling, Sora starts getting her armor on as well.
Slipping on my boots, I pick up my staff and attach it to my back. Sora grabs my hand and pulls me out of the bedroom. We walk as quietly as we can down the hall and out of the house. From there itâs a short walk to the portals.
âWhere are we going?â I ask.
Sora shrugs. âIâm not telling you.â
Taking the lead, she pulls me through the portal to Angelsâ Rise. On the other side, we find angelic guards patrolling the street. With a few nods shared between the soldiers and Sora, we are on our way once more.
Pulled to the South gate, Sora hurries me through. âWe have to run from here.â
âWhere to?â I ask, hoping sheâll tell me this time.
âYouâll see when we get there! Stop being stubborn!â
Grumbling, I let Sora take off at a steady run. Keeping pace with her, we fly over the terrain in the cool morning air.
âWhat time is it?â I ask.
Sora looks up at the sky. âItâs around midnight.â
Groaning, I glare at my wife. âWhy? Why did you wake me up at midnight?â
âFor your birthday!â
I donât know what Iâm going to do with this woman. The only answer I have is to sigh and pray she isnât going to get me killed today.
Two hours into our run, Sora finally slows down. The gold zone we are in stretches all around us and high in the sky I find Poe swooping down and back up, blood dripping from her talons.
As we get closer, I pick up on Asheâs growls and Sora starts slipping her mace and shield off her hip.
âAre you ready?â Sora asks.
âReady for what?!â
Pushing past the last few trees, I come to a sight Iâm wholly unexpecting. A boar the size of a small one bedroom house is laying on the ground with blood oozing from several wounds. The smell of charred flesh fills the air, and Ashe is currently attacked to the beasts throat and tearing out chunks of flesh.
âAn alpha?â I question.
Sora sighs. âWell, it was an alpha. I think Ashe and Poe already killed it though.â
Chuckling, I walk forward and wave down my companions. For the first time in days, I pull up the blinking notification in the corner of my vision.
