Overconfident

***

A horse's hooves hit the stoned streets of Alvareen hard and fast, causing denizens to disperse or get hit. Stop the horse was a lady whose pretty face was contorted in a mixture of emotions; Anger, annoyance, and pain. 

Kayla's mana had only lasted for a few more propulsions but they had been enough for her to leave her enemies in the dust. Her escape was also better aided by her striking down the most capable creature of catching up to her. She knew this because she had witnessed the black horse's speed. 

Her chest was broken and all the Healing Potions she drank did not put it back together well enough. Every time she exerted herself to cast her spells, her injuries got worse and it seemed the already fractured structure got broken further.
