One year change

Borrowed time

I looked down, cursed, looked up at the captain worried face.

"Well, I was dragged to this world to help you fix things up, but I am on borrowed time.."

The others looked swiftly at each other before at me.

"We will serve you to the end, empress."

"I am looking forward to it." Looking up at the sky. We would be around a half hour from a new underground city, but time was running from us. As night would bring forth the terror unleashed by the warp.

"We need to move, fast." I said as a chill went down my spine. Call it second instinct, but it was a great warning.

Barge in to the new place, well, a easy way to say. We almost destroyed their protective barrier, somehow one of the scout managed to put it down to let us in before raising it again.

In last minute to, second afterwards something huge crashes into it. Scratching it with gigantic claws, howling in the light of shield buzzing under it's attack.

"Who are you!" Suddenly out of protection came four Arstatis with hug dented armour, what regime they had been part of wasn't to be seen and some old fashioned weapons.

The captain introduce himself and his crew, pointing to me and said I were their middle person because humans feared them to greatly.

I gave a slight nodd , just to acknowledge them, because I knew the crew following me would kill them if I made myself more humble because they surly would think that they were threatening me.

God, brain don't reason with me. But looking slight around to see other humans around. They wouldn't made a scratch on the Arstatis armour with those things, but could easily kill others like me.

"Please, follow us down so we don't attract more of the night terrors."
A Arstatis said, his helmet missing, showing a weather face that had seen so much.

The captain staying by my side, lifting me up into his arm, we both saw how one of them were halting on the foot.

"Brother, what happened?"

His eyes went down to the foot, "I don't know, but I am unable to self healing of bones." He looked defeated down.

Most been hard for a warrior to go from everything heals to it suddenly stopping.

"Let's meet in private afterwards."

"You got a apothecary?!" The host looked beaming at us.

"Kind of, hard to explain."

"Oh..."

We followed them to a partly ruin city, but everything else was working. There was animals and food growing under the false sun.

"Before we came here, the shield failed. There was losses, but managed to save them." He said beaming.

Walking through the city, there was humans stopping, making way but they looked at the host leader with fear.

"Something is off." The captain sent on a box massage to me, I gave a slight nodd. Already knowing the fact of it but not being able to tell them. Not now as he was listening Inn on us.
