" Charge!"

" John get out of there!"

" I can't I have to grab Morgan before I do..."

" It's too late, they're already grabbing him, you're not going to be able to get him! There must be 300 of them! John, you need to get moving!"

" Dammit!"

/ Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!/

They called for a charge and they were more than happy to follow the command... Harry was telling me the right thing to do, but I just had Morgan in my hands... And now... Dammit.... That's really all I can say... They're carrying him away... With Harry's announcement, I'm pretty sure Morgan's going to die from blood loss as well...

" Stop worrying about the fools trying to kill you!"

Lily screamed in my head... She's right... I shouldn't, but all of that information just got washed away... Even with that... Dying from blood loss... That's not the greatest way to die... Well, I suppose there isn't any good way to die, besides maybe old age? Regardless, I can't be thinking about this right now.

/ Clang!/

" You won't escape!"

An Elf rushed from the line and attempted to attack me, I blocked his strike and then he backed away. I got into position to begin the fight... But he's running... No, he wasn't trying to fight me!...

/ Thump! Thump! Thump!/

" Ready! Fire!"

/ Thoop! Thoop! Thoop!/

" You got to be kidding!?"

/ Thump! BOOM!/

Their front line aimed their palms at me. I felt their mana begin to shift, it didn't take much to know what would come next. All around me were Elves aiming offensive spells to attack me. They fired as I was bending my knees, I was able to jump into the sky to avoid the spells. The spells that were launched all hit each other and exploded. I felt a wave of relief as I dodged the spells.

" Aim! Fire!"

" What!?"

I heard the commander of the Elves call out another order for an attack. I couldn't believe it.. .By the time I looked down at the Elves... It was way too late.

/ Thoop! Thoop! Thoop!/

A bunch of spells were coming and I couldn't get out of the way in time...

" Barrier!"

/ BANG! BANG! BANG!/

I summoned a Barrier all around me and I was able to defend against the onslaught of magic. The only issue is...

/ Thump!/

" Ow!"

" It's your own fault on this one, Kid... Do you want to Summon me so we could make an escape?"

" No... Need... Need to watch my mana still."

" Your life is hanging by a thread right now!"

" And I have no idea where Fairsword is."

Hank spoke to me as I rubbed my elbow since I landed on it... Hank was the first to speak to me, he wanted to know if he should get ready to fly again so I could escape from this situation. I told him " no", since I wanted to keep my mana as full as possible... Currently, I was around 33%, it's been hard not to just say screw it, but I need to stay calm, hotheadedness will get me no where here. Lily was quick to point out that I was in danger... I know I was, but I'm in no more danger than having an Evil God trying to kill me... I survived that, and I'll survive these Elves as well... Maybe I'm arrogant, maybe I'm just being an idiot? For now... My current position mattered. I was still in the air, my Barrier acted like a platform for me in the middle of the sky.
