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."
