However, every...
Upon our return, Alistair and I were granted a much-needed day of rest before our anticipated assignments to the Paladins' divisions. We savored the brief respite, preparing ourselves mentally and physically for the battles that lay ahead. Little did we know that fate had a different plan in store for us.
A thunderous arrival disrupted the tranquility, shaking the ground beneath our feet. The enemy fleet had arrived, its ominous presence casting a shadow over our land. With urgency in his voice, Gary summoned all the Paladins to the meeting room, where we would confront the imminent threat.
We hastily gathered, the tension palpable in the air. The weight of our responsibilities settled upon our shoulders, intertwining with the fervor and determination that burned within each of us. This was the moment we had been preparing for—our chance to prove ourselves on the battlefield.
As we filed into the meeting room, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. The time for planning and strategizing was over; now, action beckoned us forward. We braced ourselves, ready to face the encroaching darkness head-on.
"Lancelot, Rachel. You are tasked with intercepting the enemy ships and defending Etistin."The softness of Gary's command did little to conceal the weight of his words.
They had not dropped from the air before we had soared through the skies into Etistin, our white cores carrying us faster than the air carries sound.
The bay in Etistin had always been renowned for its sunset. Upon arriving, we found out why. The sun's light reflected off the shimmering water into hundreds of sails, the warm orange glow on each belying the horror of the unmistakable insignia they carried. The enemy was here.
Our flight came to an abrupt halt as I fixated my gaze upon the largest ship, my attention drawn to three figures standing proudly at its helm.
Among them, the first caught my eye—a boy, seemingly our age. His jet-black hair and piercing red eyes exuded a sense of strength and determination. Yet, compared to our newfound power, he appeared no more than an insignificant insect.
Beside him stood a towering figure, standing at a formidable seven feet tall. Two serrated horns curled beneath his ears, matching the intensity of his bright red eyes. Clad in a bloody cape, he embodied the epitome of the Scythes of Alacarya, his power resonating at the pinnacle of their ranks.
However, it was the girl by their side who truly commanded my attention. Her mana signature shimmered like a mesmerizing tapestry of raw power. Mana particles enveloped her in a captivating dance, their movements akin to a symphony of devoted suitors vying for the attention of their beloved queen. Her bewitching orange-golden eyes mirrored her immense potential, while her casual attire belied the aura of confidence and charm she effortlessly emanated. Her luscious black hair, cascading in gentle waves, further accentuated her natural allure and graceful form.
