On her way towards Hana, Cecil noticed some strange movement from the corner of her eyes. She watched as a group of bandits came together, forming a line a distance away from Gom and Hana.
Cecil skidded to a stop, thinking quickly.
No matter what they plan to do, breaking the line is the only choice I have here.
The group of bandits made similar gestures, pushing their hands outwards and Cecil mimicked them.
"Move away!" a bandit hollered out, and they retreated swiftly from Hana and Gom.
Before they had the chance to react, the two of them immediately found themselves boxed in by stone. The only open place was above them, which was too tall for a person to jump over.
"What the..." Gom muttered out.
Hana gasped, glancing around wildly, still using her shawl. Unless she could punch through stone, there was nothing she could do.
"Hana, hold onto me--" Gom said, only to be interrupted by a commotion outside.
"Gah!"
