Escape

Erend opened his eyes because he heard a commotion. He opened his eyes and began to sharpen his hearing which forced his brain to think quickly. After a moment, Erend's brow furrowed.

"Attack?!"

Erend immediately jumped out of bed and woke Billy and Lt. Boartusk.

"Nghh... what's going on out there?" Billy said tiredly as he rubbed his eyes.

"Is that an attack?" Lt. Boartusk asked.

They had previously been used to wars interfering with their sleep. But lately, that habit has begun to be replaced with slightly better sleep. And now their little comfort was disturbed by an attack.

"Isn't this palace protected by a magic shield? We don't have to worry," Billy said as he turned around and kept his eyes closed. As if to continue sleeping.

Erend thought so too. But the noise outside sounded a little different from before because Erend also heard voices from the Elves. It's the voice of distress.
