Chapter 134: Raring To Be Released
Everyone stood forming a semi-circle around the mouth of the cave, leaving some distance. Alexandra with the Hashomer shining in her hand was standing alert. Maximus stood by her side with his reliable sword, dependable as a mountain.
Kefir created a tornado that reached the sky. They were in the eye of the tornado. Whoever is inside the cave—whether it is just Morfan or Arioch is with him—cannot escape the swirling wall of wind that Kefir built.
Their clothes billowed in the wind. If they are not strong beings, they would have sucked into the swirling wall of wind Kefir has created.
Ithildin started the purification process. They are fighting against the darkness and light is the best form of defense against the darkness.
A rattling sound echoed from the cave. Upon closer observation, they figured that it is the sound of crushing rocks. Whatever is inside is strong enough to make that sound that would make any warrior’s heart melt to a puddle out of fear.
Alexandra turned to her side to see Maximus’ lips curving. That’s her Tubby, alright! He is the bravest warrior she knows. But the lust for confrontation in his eyes, and the haste in his hand that was holding the sword as he stepped forward made her furrow her brows.
He is very keen on confronting. He was never like that. Not the Tubby she knows. He was way too careful. He was too careful, even she appeared careless beside him.
Alexandra looked down and took in a deep breath. The ground beneath her feet was dry and lifeless. The feeling of nothingness would bring fear in the heart of anyone. That’s what darkness does. It sucks the hope out of the person making them lose their spark.
She held Maximus’ hand and signaled him to stay back. he knitted his brows as he was not very impressed. But she still held him back.
She could see that the roles have reversed in this life. In their previous life, she was in a haste all the time, to prove her worth to Luke. And at that time, it was Tubby who protected her. He tried to tell her that she is becoming reckless.
But this life, he is so keen on revenge, he has become careless. And she will protect him just like he did.
[It is my turn to protect Tubby now.]
