Chapter 747: Into the Horde
She released me, giving me a small smile. "I know, and if you can help it, try to come back to us on your own two feet. It’s rather tiring to watch after you when you end up unconscious."
I flushed, tail twitching in embarrassment. "It’s not any easier for me, you know!"
She laughed, giving me a little push on the shoulder. "Get going, already, before you change your mind. We’ll be rooting for you."
Elise spoke up. "If you actually manage to get him to agree, or at least listen, I can negotiate for you again. I’ve got some practice working with demons now."
She flashed me a smile, and I nodded. Fable butted his head against me once more, demanding another hug, before I turned to Fyren and Zephyriss.
"Watch over them, please, " I said. "If Rash’alon truly thinks I’m still here, he might try and attack. He’ll know I’m always with them, so–"
Fyren raised his hand. "I’m aware, and I promise. Your friends are my friends."
Evla shook her head, muttering. "Didn’t know demons had friends."
Fyren glared at her, but let the comment go.
"I’ll keep an eye on you overhead," Zephyriss said. "I won’t be able to sense your soul, else they would be able to sense mine, so if you need me, release your aura in full. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Which, as a storm demon, is very soon."
"Thank you, but I hope I don’t have to take you up on that. We’ll only be gone for a little while, right? Just long enough to talk to Luke."
