Shifting Wounds
Jay sent Sweeper and Red’s two guardian skeletons further back so they could keep the lights away while he waited for Dark and Lamp to investigate. He would need to stop for a while to use the host skill on Dark, so it was necessary to keep them back.
Asra was still in pain, unable to walk as her leg wouldn’t heal. In Blue’s arms, she had locked her eyes shut, focusing on breathing steadily.
Dark and Lamp bolted through the fog, creating whispers in the swamp grasses as they rushed past, and it wasn’t long before they made it to the area that Lamp had avoided.
Jay and Asra only walked a little further along the cliff before Red tapped Jay’s shoulder and nodded, giving the signal that Dark was in position.
Jay released a loose pile of bones from his gauntlet sat down, not wanting to get wet, dirty clothes from the damp, muddy ground. He was glad he received no death notifications of his undead as he thought of Dark and activated his host skill.
