From the hill-view (Fay's PoV)

'This is the least I can do, huh?' Fay thought to herself while caressing the lock of the neugarand with just the tips of her fingers. 

Once again, Peter convinced her to stay back while he went in to lead the charge. 

And as much as he claimed he was simply going to be at the front rather than leading it… Fay wasn't gullible enough to believe this half-truth. 

Sure, officially, Uler, an old and wise celestial was in charge of the sneak attack from the right. Peter was simply responsible for making use of his terrible weapons to break through any resistance humans would mount in the spur of a moment, letting the elites of the forest do the rest… 

But again, Fay wasn't stupid enough to believe this. 

She saw the call for blood in Peter's eyes. Back during the ambush at the clearing, it was only a distant echo. Then, during his barrage, it was as clear as the trees around her.
