A Fight for my Life

They kept coming, wave after wave. They had stopped sending humans by now – it was all trolls and orcs. I had stopped flying around since it was useless. Instead, I had chosen to preserve my mana as much as I can, only creating wind to shield us from arrows.

As we defeated the last wave they sent, Erik and Vincent went to Alina's side, just like before. Their exhaustion was showing. With each wave, the number of wounds they suffered only increased.

I gritted my teeth as I watched the woods below. The silhouettes were on the move again. Where was that girl? I couldn't remember her name… Was it Elly? No… Elise! How could I forget something so important?

I shook my head and pushed the thoughts gnawing at me to the back of my mind. I couldn't afford to worry about that right now. Survival came first.
