Captive

Ray waits calmly, as blood continues to trickle slowly off of his face. 'I could use Celestial Force to heal my wounds… But if I do so the knights would notice something is off.'

Ray breathes heavily, still in a lot of pain. 'All I can do now is wait, once my exhaustion wears off I will be able to make more moves.'

Ray closes his eyes as he drifts off, slouched down, still chained to the wall.

Hours go by and for a while now the rest of tower 4's unit has been back at their base camp. Wildren is getting a bit frustrated still waiting for the people to bring Ray back as an extremely bloody mage burst through the woods, collapsing onto his knees.

"Soldier! What happened to you?" Wildren Shouts out. "Was it a Mana Beast?!"

"N-no… They hav….." He begins to say as he passes out from blood loss.

Wildren lifts him up and sprints to the nearest cleric, telling all nearby soldiers to inform the others to be on high alert.
