Chapter 27: Thorny Fields
"Thessa! Are you okay? Thessa!"
Teagan and Soren both rushed Thessa out of the water, their panic evident as their palms quickly became coated in blood.
Pushing down the anxiousness in their hearts, they hurried to bring her to the shore, almost forgetting about their mission.
Even now, none of the three understood why they were given a sudden mission in the dead of night like this. But they were told before they left the Sect that this was a training exercise for the real world. They had no right to refuse.
In times of war, missions came at all hours of the day, and they had to be ready for them no matter what.
"Thessa? Wake up!"
"The first aid kit, you idiot!" Teagan rarely lost his cool, but watching Soren yell at Thessa as though that was going to fix something was really starting to vex him.
Soren had a million quippy replies to that, but he eventually decided that Teagan was actually in the right.
"Dammit, what do we do? We can't take off her clothes, right? She'll kill us!"
