Chapter 49: Ronan's Will

Clove and Ike stood back to back, watching through their panting breaths as Maritza transformed to her next level in The Shroud system.

“What the hell just happened to her?” Clove asked. The more and more she saw of The Shroud, the less trusted it and its demonic aura.

Ike thrust his lance at one of the six remaining Order warriors, keeping the cloaked figure at bay.

“I’ve got no clue,” Ike said dismissively. “But it’s Maritza. We can trust her. Be glad she’s on our side.”

Clove let out a timid grunt, before using her dagger to parry a blow from yet another Order warrior. There were too many dead Seahorses to count, and as much as Clove thought she might be able to lead these warriors into battle, she was doubting if she would even make it out alive.

Above them, the sky shook as the dragon roared. Ronan was on its tail, his hair whipping in the wind, as it flew around. Ronan stabbed his Hellblade between the scales and climbed the spikes lining the base of the dragon’s tail.
