Chapter 11

Sun

Riding into an active battle zone on the back of nocs was perhaps my first mistake. The second was not acknowledging the fact that after months in prison before beginning our journey, borders and locations had changed.

I was out of the inner military circle now. Where once I lived and breathed battle strategies on a large scale, now I had one focus, and it was on me and my plans with four noc companions.

That was why, as we continued toward where I thought the general and his battalion would be located, I was caught completely off guard as we were suddenly surrounded.

First, an arrow flew past my ear in a rush of wind. Still on Hadi’s back, I was unsure if the arrow was meant for me or him. Then, before I could do more than turn my head in the direction it had come from, Bracken shouted, “Down!”

He leaped into the air above us all, spreading his wings to shield us from the sudden rainfall of arrows.

The moment they landed, hitting the ground like thick balls of hail around us, there was a simultaneous war cry from the trees as more humans than should have been able to sneak up on us emerged.

Despite myself, I was proud.

These were General Hideyoshi’s warriors. That much was clear for they had not only managed to sneak up on me, but on each of my four nocs too.

A spear nearly wedged itself into my waist and I left being impressed for a later time as I only escaped being skewered by inhaling at just the right time.

I leaped to my feet atop Hadi, for a moment forgetting the fact that he would probably hate me jumping around on top of him as though he was furniture.

If he did mind, he did not say anything. All of his arms were held back to protect me as he dodged attacks.

Bracken was already fighting, but in the gentlest way the batbeast could, only sweeping the soldiers back with his massive wings every time a group descended upon him.

Clem was up in the air, diving anxiously out of the way of arrows and spears and Kiar was wrapped around a group of five, pinning their arms down so they could not hurt us. There were more though, and they were angry. I knew the fury in their eyes because I had always had the same feeling rushing through my blood all these years. Nocs meant savagery, despair, the end of humanity. If only I had known the truth sooner.

“It's me!” I shouted, nearly wanting to laugh at the severity of the situation. Being attacked–rightfully so–by the very people I longed to liberate was nearly too much. They should attack us. They should kill us in fact. Me, a human soldier with nocs was treason. I only hoped that my name held some weight here.

“I am Batu Sun! I come with news for General Hideyoshi!”

If anyone heard, they did not respond.

Bracken was getting fed up, now throwing the soldiers with too much force, hurting them.
