On a Pinch

It was last night when they drove through the empty dark road with the light full beam as the car moved at full speed. Garrof got both his hands on the steering wheel his expression was tightened the same way as Lloyd thought he tried to remain calm, meanwhile, Lory checked from the digital map on her phone how far they were from the location.

Suddenly Garrof's phone rang again, and in a second Lloyd answered the phone "Dan, what happened?"

Dan only says two words "They here!" and the phone cuts off abruptly.

The silence holds them rigid, it feels like the air was sucked away from their lungs.

"We won't make it!" Garrof tightens his grip on the steering wheels.

"We still not sure..." Lloyd tried to be positive but the tremor in his voice betrayed him.

No matter how strong they were, Dan, Owen, and Lydia didn't have the means or experience to fight Paladins or Dragxtarn, even experienced soldiers would have a hard time facing those two forces.
