Chapter 10 - 9
Lumberling’s thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Wh... what happened here?" Uncle Drake asked, rushing over to where Lumberling stood, staggering slightly.
He had been resting not far away but was awakened by the sound of fighting. Even though his body felt heavy and his head dizzy, he’d rushed to his comrades, fearing they were under attack.
"It’s not an enemy, Uncle Drake," Lumberling said, puzzled by his late arrival. The commotion from the fight with Decurion Rex should’ve been enough to rouse him earlier. He was about to ask about it when a wave of dizziness hit him too.
He swayed.
’Ah... so that’s how it is.’
"Uncle Drake, are you dizzy too?"
"Yeah... maybe I slept badly," Drake muttered. "We’ll talk about that later. What happened here? Where’s Decurion Rex?"
"That body over there. It’s him. I killed him."
"You... what? Why?"
Lumberling felt a headache coming on, unsure how to begin explaining. But then Drake’s eyes fell on something on the ground.
