Planet Tetro ~ Page 98

I gathered myself while Draco was asking everyone how they were doing . Once again he recommended for us to escape the battle while we could . He also made sure to thank us for our contribution to the fight . He seemed sincere and grateful . Although he said if we’re at our limits then we should escape . He's a very thoughtful leader . He's the youngest of us all but he definitely carries himself in a mature manner . I'm starting to notice why everyone in the village holds him to such a high esteem .

Visceroy gave Draco a serious look and said , “ I’m always prepared for the worse . The only way I’ll leave is if you can guarantee that you will win this fight without us .” Draco smiled for the first time since I saw him fighting Avion and said . “ Trust me , I still have a trump card that I haven’t shown anyone .” I got curious and wanted to ask him what it was . The timing felt off though , and childish . No point in asking too many questions during a fight . Not even taking into account that I'm seriously outranked right now .

Visceroy nodded off at Draco and then he gestured for me to come and follow him . I quickly nodded to Draco and told him good luck as we ran off . As I followed Visceroy , I asked him . “ Where are we going ? He replied that we were heading in the direction that we came from . To find Lillandra and see if she’s recovered enough to heal us . If we all come back healed we can jump Avion if it comes down to it . I would definitely feel more confident to see Lillandra .

We continued to head towards the others . It seemed like a solid plan I thought . Even if I thought that Draco couldn’t win . I felt like he was strong enough to at least hold Avion off for a little while longer . Continuing on with this plan , we were bound to end up with even greater strength in numbers , In times like this , it was best to believe in my allies . Plus we already did a good service by taking out the important generals . Other than there monstrous leader Avion , we had already took care of most of the hard work .

After we were running for about 10 minutes we heard yells and grunts from a few soldiers . We saw two of them being thrown around by a tree that was holding there legs . As gory as the moment was , I knew who that tree belonged to and I said her name out loud in relief , “ Lillandra !” In the old tales of our village the female was usually rescued by the males . Seeing her made her seem like the hero today .

She was dusting herself off when we saw her . The ground was littered with soldiers that she probably defeated . Visceroy broke our silent meeting first . “ I’m relieved to see you Lillandra . In fact we were headed towards you and the others . She had a smile that faded away as she asked , " why? Draco’s fine right ? I can still sense his enormous magic energy as he’s fighting from here ." She's right , the same way we were able to track him then are the same ways we can still sense him now .
