Chapter 57 : Devastating Truth

Vika's POV

Damnit, Vadon. He was slippery as a fish and slick as a weasel.

"We have to go after him," I said.

"He's going to Starlight Waterfall," Asher said. "That's where those paths lead."

"You're not getting out of this clearing," one of the rogues snarled.

They attacked.

I stood back-to-back with Asher. We would defend each other to death. I knew that.

One rogue lunged forward. I jumped to the side and pivoted. Whew, that was close.

"Ahhh!" he cried, raising his sword.

‘Oh, no, you don't!; I stabbed the rogue up, getting him in the chest.

Another rogue came up behind me. I spun around and kicked him. He snarled and fell back, right into Asher's sword.

"Well, that's teamwork, isn't it?" I asked.

Asher grinned. "I told you these guys were no match for us," he said.

"Asher, watch your back!" I cried.

Asher ducked, and I hurled my sword. Whomp… Whomp… Whomp… It spun through the air like a frisbee and hit the rogue behind Asher.
