Chapter 50: Pull of the Deep
Marco pushed another dose of his magic into the ship. It was all that he could do at the moment. For reasons he couldn’t entirely explain, he didn’t need Elisa to explain what was going on. He felt every cannon shot that hit The Foolish Endeavor and a fire was starting to burn in his heart. “Noted. Not much we can do about it now, anyway. Just stay under cover, all right? No more taking risks like that. I’m giving it everything I have.”
The enemy fire continued as they skedaddled for all they were worth. Aethe tried firing a few arrows back but soon found herself both outgunned and outdistanced.
“I’m not seeing Frisk!” Marco yelled.
“Maybe he went a different way?” Elisa offered. “Just keep sprinting. We’ll just have to get out of this ourselves.”
Marco pushed himself to the point of exhaustion, giving as much magic as the ship could possibly take. Incredibly, it seemed to rejoice despite the damage it was taking.
