Gurdas' curses echoed in my ears. Countless beams of light tried to find us through the trees.
How many minutes had it been, five or ten...?
After we decided to flee, it didn't take us long to realize that we were being chased. They had reached us faster than we thought, and now we were doing the only thing we could do: we were running.
We were being pursued by an army of its own through the trees that were getting denser and denser. Even stopping for a second could end badly.
"How far to go, Rulhan?!"
"Fifteen kilometers more!"
Fifteen kilometers... If we keep running at this pace, we have almost twenty more minutes.
I clicked my tongue, running at the fastest speed we could for twenty or fewer minutes wasn't really a big deal, but avoiding those behind us while doing it was the hard part.
"Durv-"
My words were abruptly interrupted when the beams of light coming from behind us suddenly intensified unexpectedly.
Thanks for reading :)
