I spotted Fane’s figure rushi+ng toward , he picked me up by the chestplate and held me under his armpit That’s when I saw it

“Fane Y-Your arm!” I huffed, wide-eyed

I had soin the direction that True Sense had shown -infested forest

Fortunately, the sun was cohout the whole night and it was evident that Fane was close to collapsing He had concentrated much of his mana on the stub where his left ar out The rest of hisour speed

“We’re al in the woods a few dozen yards away

“Just a bityou have on the three-point array Do that and our mission is a success,” Fane huffed “Can you do that?”

“I can”

We skidded to a stop and Fane dropped round I assumed that the striker wanted ht

I could see Fane’s ehtly underneath his shi+rt as he stood in front of ain formed in Fane’s hand as he ai us

Even at first glance, I kneho he was It was the same elf that had spotted us up on the tree It was the saainst

“N-No That can’t be…” Ithe distance between us He looked injured and tired, but he was alive And if he was alive, that meant…

I heard a faint whistle but before my brain could process what that noise meant, Fane’s wind spear had already round

<hr>

“damn it, there’s more of them We need to run,” Fane hissed “Now!”

Fane lifted me up to my feet and pushed athered while Fane had held er Fane continued to pushin the woods, towards what I assudom

I tensed every time I heard a sharp whistle but by the fact that none of the arrows hadhis job

I still had to finishmy crest mid-stride, the imprints of the three-point arrays lit up like a map in my head The closest one I had ih I needed ti we didn’t have

“We’re close enough Set up the array!” Fane groaned behindup the first point in the array While doing so, I took a peek behind me

Fane towered over me just a few steps behind with shafts ofout from his body A trail of blood leaked down the corner of hisback

I nodded frantically and ripped open another wound onstartled me, but I refused to look back

Another whistle froroan

My hands trembled as I started the array

I tried to imbue more mana but, out of the corner of

Another pained grunt resounded from behind, but it wasn’t Fane’s voice

The sharp pain radiating frorew more and more unbearable as I iathered on the ground in front of me

I heard another whistle but almost immediately after, I was knocked down as a pain shot upwhiteness I could barely get back up toat led beyond recognition

“The… array,” Fane’s voice croaked from behind

“I… I can’t,” I ht as it felt like every inch of h the skin with serrated blades

I watched, dazed, as blood began to pool beneathnow until I died I almost wanted to die, but in this near-dead state, I couldn’t help but think of Seth He aiting back in Alacrya in a hospital bed

He was almost dead as well Even if I couldn’t live, shouldn’t he be able to?

Through sheer willpower, I got back up to led arm but it was okay I knehat I had to do

“I hope you can forgive your sister… for not being able to make it back ho a trail withto subside a little as ood

Fane ca as well He was dripping almost as much blood as I was

With neither of us able to even muster a word, Fane continued to protectit with the sheer a

I took another step, but I must’ve lost consciousness because I found the world turned on its side Fane was still on his feet, holding off Albold and another elf

Al round to continue the bloody trail, but the loss of blood must have affected my vision

An entire row of trees hadwall And on the top of the ere hundreds of elves, each ar in all sorts of colors, soreen, some yellow, others blu—

“Circe!” Fane screa me out of my daze

A desperate screanited every ounce of h my crest My vision blurred and I fell to my side, but I didn’t care I knew it had worked

Every imprint I had left in the forest was now connected and displayed to every sentry waiting outside the forest I had created the trail for our ared to crack a smile as I faced the wave of spells and arrows almost upon us I hoped they could see me my expression so they’d know…

Even this damned forest won’t keep you safe any for you
