The Sentinels' Request

Both of them plummeted, the hundreds of meters separating them from the hard, compacted soil and stone that comprised the ground closing in fast, before using their own means to stop their descent.

She elbowed him in the ribs, motioning at the guards that were getting closer, and he chuckled.

"Your grace! Are you alright?!" a guard asked, in panic, looking at Phoenix from head to toe.
