Chapter 42: Showing Strength

"Nothing, I just threw it."

Vincent shrugged, then walked over to help the stunned female Vyrmin still seated on the ground. Reaching out his hand, he asked, "Are you okay?"

When she finally regained her senses, the female Vyrmin let out a loud scream, realizing how close she had come to dying. Calming down, she took the offered hand, only to freeze again when she recognized the mask. It was the same face she'd seen earlier when caught in a private moment with her partner.

"You're the…"

Before she could finish, Vincent cut her off. 

"We're even now."

"Huh?"

"I accidentally saw you two earlier, and then I saved you. So, we're even."

"Oh, right…" she replied in a daze, then recalled her partner, who had left her to die.

"S'van!!"

Jokyr walked up, his eyes glinting with curiosity. "I guess that was the guy who ran the fastest. He's probably escaped by now," he said, joining the group.
