Stay Put (Ch.502)

A crash shook the cave from outside, followed by an ear piercing shriek, and then eerie growls here and there...a host of sounds echoed through the forest continuously as the battle ensued.

The shrieks originated from different directions, beyond the capacity of a single shadow beast, it sounded more like a dozen of them, or a horde attacking at once.

The battle itself was far off from Neveah's sight, all Neveah could hear were the sounds as she sat in the dimly lit cave,

Constantly reminding herself that all she could do right at the moment was sit still and stay out of King Jian's way like he had ordered.

It was hard having nothing to do, nothing for company but her thoughts, while the world was overturned all around her.

It was a strange feeling to Neveah, that she was kept away from the danger while someone else faced it all on his own, more willing to face it alone than catch a sight of her anywhere close by.
