My cold but sweet guard

CHAPTER SIX

MICHEAL'S POV...

We turned the corner as the attacks barely missed us.We turned another corner and dove behind a small cart.My heart was pounding inside my chest, and I could not help but cry.I felt hands grab me and pull me into a soft, comforting embrace."It's okay.I'm here''.I eventually calmed down and wiped my tears.It was my first real encounter with magic, and I ran away crying with my tail in between my legs.I sighed in frustration."You good?''.

I nodded."Who are they, and what do they want?''I stared at him."Probably assassins.You are leading the soldiers in the war.They must be from the enemy kingdom.".I threw my head backward and groaned.

''What are we going to do?''."The only way is to fight them head-on".I face-palmed. I hadn't even bothered to check if I could even use magic."It's going to be fine".He jumped over the cart and stood face-to-face with the attackers.They rained fireballs at him from above.He merely sighed and got into an odd stance.

Two smoke jaguars appeared on his fists, and he started to block the attacks.His footwork made him look like he was dancing gracefully around the area.I couldn't help but peek from behind the cart and stare at his graceful movements.The way he glided on the floor,carefully calculating each step, dazzled me.

Before I knew it,I felt my cheeks burning.I shook it off and took deep breaths.I'm just embarrassed that I'm not helping.I snapped back to reality with a gasp of pain.I peeked again, and my eyes widened in shock.The attack grazed his shoulder badly.For some reason,I felt a surge of rage and gritted my teeth.

One of the attackers walked closer to him and grapped his face harshly."You think you can stop us with your puny attacks?You're just a useless dark magic user who will never earn respect from the king".

I lunged at him and punched him in the face.My fists were covered in fire, and I was breathing heavily."Don't you dare say anything like that to him.You have no idea.HE'S BETTER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!!!''I roared in anger as I created a massive fireball and crushed them to death.

Sir Dominic passed out due to blood loss.I tried walking over to him, but I passed out due to exhaustion before I could reach him.
