Chapter 22

Xaliasday Afternoon, 28th of Zholn, Year 678, 4th Age

Two blasts of electricity whizzed by my face as I ducked out underneath a dead tree. The smell of ozone sizzled through the air as I tried to catch my breath. I looked in every direction but couldn't see where the attack originated. As the lightning blasted off from the downed tree, I gripped the handle of my spear, searching for an opening to keep moving.

They were catching up, and I needed to get out fast.

Boom!

A crack of thunder blasted in the sky as the rain continued to pelt down. Crouching low, I dashed off, hopeful; no one had seen me until— boom! Another crack of thunder. Only this time, a tree exploded in front of me.

"Whoa!" I dodged out from the falling timber, only to sense two projectiles coming straight for me. I swung my spear around and deflected one while a second arrow pierced into my shoulder, pinning me to the tree.

"Gah!"

Ripping the arrow out of my shoulder, I threw it down as a shadowy figure emerged from the fog inside the forest. I stood my ground, training my spear on the future.

"Can't keep running forever," the figure said in a dark warbly voice

The figure pulled out a massive battleax the size of its body.

Oh, that's not for cutting trees. I thought to myself.

As soon as the ax appeared, the figure lunged at me, slashing at my midsection. Rolling out of the way, I kicked the back end of my spear up, knocking the ax upwards as it cleaved into the tree behind me.

Keeping my distance, I jumped back and stabbed at the figure several times, each attack trying to aim for its most open area. However, the figure wasn't just strong; they were fast too. Blocking the blows and dodging out of the way, it closed in the distance. I took a few steps back, feeling a log at my heels, and decided to try something.

I fell back onto my ass and grabbed at my ankle screaming.

"Gah!" The spear returned to its smaller form on the ground as the figure leaped into the air for the coup de grâce. Sensing my opportunity, I grabbed my spear, pressing the button to activate it.

Shink!

The spear tip exploded upward, and the spear pierced right into the figure's shoulder right up where I had been hit, only to disappear into a puff of smoke.

"What?"

I felt a prickle in my back as a knife pressed against it.

"Sorry, Asher, but you lose again," came a familiar whisper.

"Come on, Uli!" I groaned, pushing her knife away. "Do I have to keep finding all of you at once?"

"Yes," Giezha said, dropping from the trees. "You're going to be a target for fifteen other fighters."

"Even you?" I asked.

Without a moment's hesitation, Giezha nodded. "I have to."

I grimaced at her candidness while Kiersa and Mara also appeared. Mara popped out from the other side of the fallen log.

"You almost got me!" Mara said, trying to pep me up.
