Standing Alone

Silas looked toward the direction of the person who had shouted 'Don't go there!' and even though the darkness still permeated their surroundings, Silas seemed to recognize Emery and said, "Is that the beggar from yesterday? Pay no heed to him!"

However, Kastan blocked Luna's and Silas' path. He said to their dark-skinned scout, "Asur, check behind trees."

"What? Why are you listening to that beggar? Let's go!" ordered Silas, taking the lead by moving forward. It was at that moment though that a rain of arrows flashed behind the trees they were about to head to. They all turtled behind the shields they were holding, however, one of the arrows passed through the gap and pierced Asur's shoulder.
