THE CRITICAL SITUATION (24)

"You should be the one, who retreated!" Zaya yelled back at him. "Now took all the knights with you and retreat! Go to Pyro, he will create a shield!"

"What are you going to do?!" King Rowan asked, he had to raise his voice, because of the deafening roar and harsh wind that became hotter by second.

Zaya had asked Pyro whether he had enough magic stone to create shield and he had enough to shield them for a day if there was no disturbance from the outside.

It was enough time for Zaya, but she was not sure it would be enough for what would come next.

"I will absorb the black magic." Zaya checked on king Rowan briefly. He didn't seem to sustain a concerning wound, only a few cuts here and there, as far as she could see.

Most of the knights had taken off their armor, because the steel was too hot for their body. It made them felt like they were on the frying pan.
