Chapter 12

There really wasn’t anything else to say right then. Though Layla was still in shock to a degree, she managed to focus and follow along with the rest of the squad, while Varleth only grumbled a bit more than usual. By the time we were geared up and on the airship flying towards our target, I had come to be fully comfortable with the situation.

After all, Layla had held her own when the rift in the forest opened, and she could totally kick ass when she applied herself. While she had always been reluctant to fight, well, I had been encouraging her and pushing both her and Braden to be and do more. While these flying monsters were one of the scariest threats we’d ever faced and it was only an hour ago that we had exchanged fears on our own mortality, my hope was renewed, and I knew we could see this through.

I was still curious as to the full reasons behind this. So, on one of the fastest ships in Varle about to head into what could possibly be one of the most dangerous missions we’ve gone on and sandwiched between Layla and Nia, I focused on Arwyn sitting across from us. I suddenly felt outnumbered though not necessarily in a bad way. To have three women have their way with me, well, I wasn’t going to complain, was I?

“I think we’re safe to hear the rest of the story,” I said plainly.

Varleth looked up from his brooding to nod firmly in agreement. It looked like there were a few things we could agree on after all. Layla too looked up from her nervous fidgeting, her curiosity aroused.

Arwyn cleared her throat and looked between us. “First off, nothing that I am about to tell you must leave this chamber, lest there be rumors spread and panic started.” When we all nodded our agreement, she nodded as well.

“The army, the mages, we are all strained to a breaking point,” Arwyn confessed. “All but you, Miss Bethel, fought in Bedima, you know how close that came to catastrophe, and even Layla saw first hand our difficulties when you, Gryff, and Braden had to hold off that rift in the wilderness on your own. There are few left available who are qualified to fill the reserve rosters, sadly.”

Varleth seemed rather too pleased with that explanation, but before he could look too smug about, Arwyn raised a finger.

“But more importantly,” our leader continued, “the Headmaster, Professor Rori, and myself have all observed first hand the peculiar power of summoners combining their monster’s powers. In particular, certain combinations of monsters that both Layla and Gryff have are particularly potent and may prove a game-changing in dealing with these flying monstrosities based on our research.”

It was my turn to be a bit smug as I glanced over at Varleth. “Looks like I was right on all counts.” I put a warm hand on Layla’s shoulder. “It looks like we’re really going to show them how summoners can save the world.
