He reized his location, his tense muscles rexed, his spear dissipating. rexing, he rolled his shoulder his eyes returning to normal.
He shivered, remembering the feeling of burning alive, the back fme was inte felt like he was being stabbed all over his body, his skin peeling, stinging not stopping only increasing in pain, it was the worst thing he had ever felt amplified by a ten thousand times.
He could feel, his skin fading dissolving, as blisters formed and burst, a st so wicked, he'll never fet, a taste so horrid he wished he died before it happened. He could feel every bit of his body burning away, his body fighting to survive, his lungs struggling to help him as each breath he took hurt more than the rest, his mouth stantly coughing lightning.
He touched his throat, reminisg about getting his head chopped off.
Fuck.
Oh well. He shrugged.
If he sprints now, he maybe make it and escape before that bastard shows up. Was that wishful thinking? Aegeon shook his head.
This damned forest had death at every tururo face the exit of the cave, his fae of thinking. He looked up and closed his eyes, inhaling as his mind raced at a thousand miles an hour.
He looked around, nothing to write with. He couldn't just up and pray for a book and quill.
Could he?
He frowned, gathering the information avaible, Sir Gideon, the golden knight and the old bastard, all belong or have a retion to the golden order. It looked like sir Gideon was hunting down the old Bastard. But what was the e between the golden knight and Sir Gideon? Worse, what was his obsession with Isabel?
If he didn't intervene, would the knight find Isabel? Would a fate worse thah await them? His frown deepening. Even if he and Isabel triumphed against the knight, their fighting would surely attract Sir Gideon and what awaited Aegeon was death.
He was wasting time; he shook his head getting rid of his thoughts.
"Status"
He rubbed his hands together, his steps light as lightning fshed behind him, Aegeon ran out of the cave and jumped down, lightning formed beh his feet, Aegeon rode it down the mountain.
Upon nding Aegeoraced his steps, this time killing the goblin chief much quicker, he made his way to the celr, his mind raced thinking of the best escape route.
He instinctively snapped his finger, a lightning spear dang around the celr lighting it up. All eyes turowards him.
Aegeon turowards Isabel, brown, curly hair, that reached her shoulder, her skin was fwless, her lips were full and well attuh cheek bones, her bright blue eyes, seemed to tain a starfield. If he were to pick out her fws, subjectively there would be none.
Her lips quivered as she spoke, a trick perhaps. "You are not a goblin" Her voice soft and pleasant.
"A barbarian this close to the capital?" She asked with a hint of mockery, " you uand my words?" She spoke slowly enunciating each word, Isabel tapped the cage, speaking with a tohat didn't fit a captive, a 180 from the soft-spoken dy she appeared to be. Her hands mimig turning a key.
He snapped his fihe lightning spear trailing the air, releasing all the captives at once.
"So, the barbarian uands me" She spoke triumphantly pumping out her chest proudly, "that's right-hand signs are universal" she muttered to herself nodding along.
"Don't worry, l the daughter of the Grand Duke of the north will reward you handsomely." She looked up, arrogantly at the sky, her uro the heavens.
He rolled his eyes.
"Have never seen a barbari-" Her words were cut short, wheiced what Aegeon was doing, her eyes widening.
He csped his hands and closed his eyes and started to pray.
"Lost mbs of the sky, the Divine Sky-Mother led me here to find and free you" Lightning gathered around him, dang in joy with his words.
Her already widened eyes, widened further, a blush spreading across her cheeks, she looked embarrassed that he uood her.
"Do not fret, lost mbs, while your arduous journey and hardships have not ended here, I and the sky mother are with you" He smiled warmly, his lightning gathering around them and started healing them.
He silently blessed them, as he healed them.
They looked at him, with grateful eyes, the small seed of faith pnted in their hearts.
"So, you're a priest, that would expin the rags, and the st of poverty." Her voice trailed, as she absentmindedly fiddled with her hair.
It didn't get easier the sed time, his smile stiffening.
"Hands" He looked towards the group, they all hesitantly preseheir hands showing their shackles.
Aegeon snapped his fingers, the lightning trailing towards the shackles cutting them all in half.
"No questions asked? Just like that?" She looked at him with bewilderment, her head tilted slightly.
"I knew novice priest were this" She shrugged, chug to herself.
His eye twitched.
"Thats much better" she groaned out rubbing her sore wrists, her abundant Mana filled the room at once.
"Names?" He looked around, "I'll go first, my name is □□?□??□" Thunder rumbled in the distance
"If you didn't want say your name you just stay quiet" She looked at him like he was a weirdo.
"My name is Isabel Boreas" She did a curtsy bow.
"Rachel" said the Elf, "Violet" said the dwarf, "Jade" The wolf beastkin answered, "Sydney" said a human, "Lily" The rabbit beastkin replied "Kylie" Another elf spoke. "Alice" a Human spoke "Whitney" another Human responded "Niles" another Elf said.
"Okay, listen up, I killed all the goblins here, but the humans hunting you are probably still active, I have a safe space up on the mountain north of this forest, I have a route we take, we o be fast and effit once we make it to the cave we decide on how you guys will return home." They nodded slowly looking at Isabel to decide whether to follow him or not.
"Sounds fun" Isabel spoke with a smile that seemed thten up the room.
"Good, follow swiftly and closely", he walked out the celr.
A wall of bck fmes erupted before him.
"YOU!" The knight roared "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!" The Golden knight screamed at Aegeon
Shit
