Saving The Children

Everything happened very quickly but it all seemed to move in slow motion to Braelyn. She pulled the sword from her hip watching the man’s eyes widen in surprise even as he grinned at the prospect of fighting her.

“Nova, protect them.” She shouted and Nova leapt into the open, running towards the kids and taking on a defensive stance, glaring menacingly at the other men. The sight of the ninety-five-pound animal was enough to give most of the men pause and send them to attack Braelyn instead of the children they were after before. Ethan came up next to Braelyn, a sword in his right hand and a knife in his left. All four men turned towards their new enemies, glaring at the intruders that had spoiled their plans. Braelyn had used her magic briefly in two fights already, but she wanted to try using what she had learned from Agi before she had left.
