REBIRTH

CHAPTER 14: RELEASE

Saphirs POV

Today we make our way to the border. The high of battle can be felt all over our camp ground, everyone is on high alert. As I made my way to the edge of the camp, a raven settled on my shoulder.

'You come with message?'

" I come with a status report, The sentinels are making their way to the border as we speak master. Everything seems to be going smoothly. Whenever you need us just send word."

'Understood'

Turning I saw all my squadron ready behind me to take off, some on horses, others on beasts.... some with wings out. Nodding I glanced to my right to see Demeter land beside me on his dragon, Noir and Alex with him. Smirking I shot into the sky, with everyone in tow.

-At the border-

Its been hours, constant fighting, all of it taking its toll on all of us. Demeter is making small work of his enemies, while I'm focused on getting my side cleared also. We managed to get 2 of the last 3 remaining sections under control. I got word of trouble in the sentinels section so we went to help them. Everything was going okay, all of it according to plan. Noir wouldn't leave my side though, and soon enough I was thankful he hadn't.

Noirs POV

We had been fighting all day, non stop for hours. I kept very close to Saph, not wanting her too in danger. Everything was going well until I saw the Meiwakuna douche almost get impaled. Instinctively (more out of impulse than anything) I jumped in the way of the Hollows shot. I managed to shoot it, but it shot its arm forward anyway and before I could react Saphs body was in front of mine.

Her right shoulder was impaled straight through even her wing. but she was gripping the arm of the creature, keeping it from going further. With both speed and force I had never seen before, Saph shot out her arm, jabbing her hand into the Hollows chest causing it to cry out in pain. At is cry, more Hollows kept coming, and I suddenly felt like we were outnumbered. Saph collapsed onto her knee, and dug her hand into the soil. I remember feeling like I was almost enhanced in power, and soon shadows emerged along with ravens. Saphs body was slowly fading into her bone. In minutes I was standing behind a very angry, very crazed looking Saphir.

"SAPH WHAT THE FUCK, I COULD HAVE TAKEN THAT HIT!!!" I knelt down beside her, my throat burning thanks to the scent of her blood in the air. Her body was tense, and violet eyes seemed zone out. I could feel the release of power rolling of her in strong steady waves.

"Whats wrong with my princess?" The douche came to stand in front of me, glaring I answered back in a snap,

"SHUT UP, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU WOULD JUST HAVE TAKEN THE DAMN HOLLOW DOWN!"

All of a sudden everything stayed still.... looking around, all of the enemies were down.... lying dead on the ground, and just like that Saph collapsed in exhaustion. The douche went to go grab at her, and a snarl ripped up my throat,

"KEEP YOUR DISGUSTING HANDS OFF HER!" I ripped her off the ground away from him and frantically searched for a sign of Alex, I could feel her blood pool down my clothes and my armor. "ALEX?!?! ALEX!!!!"

I saw a head pop up out of the mass of people, when she spotted me she made her way to me. I saw her eyes widen when she saw Saph, and all other around us visibly and audibly gasped. Alex threw herself to the ground, and tried desperately to heal the wounds that looked bad, but I saw her eyes fill with alarm,
