The Monsters Won't Be Caged Again

As they made their way toward the large command tent, Islinda turned to her friend, her brow furrowed in concern.

"Where have you been all this time, Maxi? I didn't see you during the battle at the arena."

Maxi let out a small sigh and shrugged. "Hovering around, as usual. Since Aldric didn't want me anywhere near the arena, not with everything going on, I just looked around the city."

Islinda couldn't help but smile. "That sounds like him. He's overprotective like that."

"When the attack hit the city, the first thing I did was go find Isaac's mother and sister," Maxi continued. "I knew they'd be vulnerable. So I got them to safety before the streets became a war zone."

"Fuck" Islinda cursed when she recalled Issac's mother and sister. "I'm so sorry I didn't even think about them. I was so occupied with everything happening."
