Chapter 251: Reveals Part 5

Walker pauses next to me.

"How did the Nerwos know to - ?" Tucker ducks, missing a stray Traxpire blast.

"I guess it's safe to say this thing isn't over yet," Werzo arrives with a pant. "But Christ, look at them go!"

When the rocks stop crumbling, I peek up and find the Nerwos backing toward us, cutting off our sight of the water. In the midst of all the fighting, one graceful golden body with a long blonde braid battles her way closer, slicing through the sage-colored bodies that block her path. I know her. And it takes me less than a moment to remember why. It's Norhra, one of the high-ranking Nerwos we met in the midst of the last invasion.
