365 I Now Know!

Zed rushed through old trees and vines. His body was surrounded by streams of fire which explosively increased his speed.

He was relieved that he has found an opportunity to leave Ashlyn behind. Just as he smiled in relief, he felt something. 

He looked back and his eyes turned wide. 

Ashlyn was leaping from one tree to another while catching up with him. Her feet were wrapped with strands of blue currents which enhanced her agility to a great extent.

"........."

Zed wanted to weep but he has no tears to shed. He could pretty much guess why she was running towards him. While her actions touched his heart, and made him admire her greatly, he wished she wasn't this protective.

"No choice!"

Zed really didn't want to resort to this. The streams of fire around his body erupted out and curled his entire body into a column of flame.
