An arrow flew over my head, but I managed to duck in time. Caelus ran towards his horse, to try to get to his sword, but didn't make it in time.
'Well well well, what do we have here?' someone said, pointing an axe at Caelus' neck.
'Trevor,' he recognized him instantly.
It was a boy a little shorter than him, but he looked quite young. His eyes were light blue and his hair dark black.
'Let me guess,' Caelus told him ignoring that he still had an axe pointed at him. 'Your lapdogs are with you.'
From the darkness of the branches, two people emerged.
A tall, slender boy carrying a bow, he looked concerned, as he didn't want to be there.
And another wearing a mask, which he took off when he saw us, who had only a knife with him.
'Say that again,' the boy with the knife told him.
'Come on Lewis, don't tell me you took offense. You should learn from Mandacol, he sure knows how to deal with a little teasing better than you.'
The bow boy, Mandacol, lowered his weapon and nodded his head.
There was a level of respect for Caelus that I couldn't understand. How could he achieve that without being a sovereign? There was nothing that made him special, he was just an arrogant guy ruling a fake Kingdom.
