Arise the Dragonslayer (The Flash warrior Book 1)

Chapter forty-five: Victor thought that it was a Chipmunk

My true destiny . . . what was the voice trying to say to me? Am I thinking who what I think they are? My body jolted before I squint to see two hands nudging my chest. I tried to speak, but it turned out I couldn't. "Rise and shine, kid. Haha. Just kidding." The beaming face was none other than Sean's. From my blurry vision, I couldn't see what was happening, but I could hear them. We're still together, thank the heavens. I heard Claes shouting and swords slashing with a powerful shriek. I shook my head before realizing the problem, which was quite a shocker.

A tree was grabbing Lenard and Chloriette with its thick branches wrapped around their waist, especially around Chloriette's mouth, I heard her squirming as she struggles. With her mouth shut, she couldn't sing. Without her singing magic, she couldn't hypnotize the gigantic aggressive tree. "What the heck is going on?!" I asked, looking at Sean but he didn't answer, instead, he told me, "Long story. Explain later. They need help. Now." The both of us were hiding behind a log. Yelling at the both of us, Claes wasn't surprise to see me awake, but he was surprised my hair was messed up.

"Where's Victor?" I looked at the sides of the tree, even behind it, in hopes of seeing a boy my age who liked punching so much. "Well, he was eaten horribly . . . ," Sean said reluctantly. 

"What!?" I reacted. I flew off so the tree tilted its trunk at me. My claymore was ready in my hand as it started to light up. I swung my claymore, shooting flames out to cut the branches off where Chloriette and Lenard were wrapped. The two of them collapsed on the ground, but the impact didn't seem to hurt them, but I had no idea about Lenard though.

I spotted a gap between those wobbling branches. "Victor, he's in there!" Chloriette pointed on top of the tree. Quickly barging into the hole, I was ready to strike the monster and rescue our friend.

"You can just strangle the tree by yourself, idiot." Lenard shook his head. We were all a mess. "What were you thinking?"

"I am not going to lie, but . . ." Victor cleared his throat as we sat on the dead tree. "I saw this cute little fuzzy creature running around like a little mouse." We didn't react to the thought that Victor was chasing a cute animal. We didn't know what to say either. "I couldn't resist. I went to chase it and . . . I want to catch its furry tail."

"Do not follow cute things next time." Claes glared. "It'll surely kill you."

"Yeah, like that one time I was lured by a puppy before I almost got devoured." Sean scratched the back of his head.

"Victor, you idiot," Chloriette hissed. "You could've died."

"Hey, look on the bright side!" Victor smiled. "At least we're here in the Field of Zescield and MaXabiere's awake."

I am awake. That reminded me. "Right, before we move on I have to tell you something."

"So you're saying is that you dream-traveled again and saw your mother who told your sister about knights coming, like what Avalar warned you about." Lenard rubbed his temple as we headed to the peaceful field.
