Ch. 53: Rallying [1]

--Drrrrtt!!

The people in the Refugee Camp looked upward when shadows descended upon them. The earthquake that shook the soil violently didn't hinder them from witnessing the sight.

The ground outside the wooden fort emerged, creating a thick wall that surrounded half of the Refugee Camp. The fire arrows had now stopped raining because the barrier prevented them from entering.

--Boom!

A deafening sound marked the end of the soaring earth, and so did the earthquake. Dead silence was created and the only sound that could be heard was the crackling wood that was eaten by the fire.

"Cough, cough!"

Alexander instantly turned to the voice and ran after he saw Damian throwing up a handful of blood as he coughed.

"Ian--"

However, he shoved him away and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Protect me, dammit!"

Alexander yanked his shoulder and forced Damian to face him, he stared right into his azure eyes.
