Sapnap was a warrior. He had fought for the king and the prince, honoring generations of his family that had served as well. Loyal to his friends, even if that loyalty would get him killed.
But at the moment, he didn't feel proud of his loyalty at all.
Mostly because he wanted to abandon it.
"Hurry!" the sandy-haired man on his left shouted, waving a hand forward. "We can't outrun them for long. If we can get far enough away that we can climb a tree or something, we should be fine! We just need to keep running!"
As if Sapnap needed that reminder.
The man, Dream, was an assassin, so his survival instincts were strong. He knew what he was doing. But Sapnap had been in the exact situation once before, and it still gave him nightmares. His survival instincts were strong as well. And at the moment, all he wanted to do was drop everything and flee until his legs could carry him no further.
"Tired," the man on his right panted, completely out of breath. The prince's cloak swished behind him as he ran, so obvious and noticeable that Sapnap wanted to tear it off of his shoulders and stuff it into his pocket or something.
Please, he begged, please don't let it end this way. I--- I just can't. Not again.
Howls echoed behind him, getting closer and closer by the second. Sapnap put on an added burst of speed, pulling ahead of his two friends. No, no, no, please, no....
There were too many of them --- a whole pack, just like last time. And if things happened just like last time, Sapnap doubted that he could get over the trauma.
His chasers were right on their heels. He could hear their low growls, their quick breathes, the sound of their padded paws on the hard ground.
Wolves.

Just a friendly reminder that the second book is actually out now, because like an idiot, Inky forgot to announce it.
Great.
And then I started referring to myself in the third person. This just gets better and better, huh?
So yes, that thing above is an excerpt from the second book, Three Forces Empowered (don't question the name), and it's actually the very beginning of the very first chapter. Just a taste of what you would find.
And who knows? What if I don't stop at a second book?...
