We Need To Cross

Atlas and Lilith made their way to the southern road with the little creature barreling through the bushes until they were half an hour away from the others. He spotted half a dozen soldiers marching, which caused him to stop.

'Here they are,' he thought when seeing them. 'This should be easy as I can hit them with a few spells before charging in as they are confused.'

The Twilight Forest bordered the road on one side, and grassland stretched to the river, blocking their way to Volantis City. Atlas watched soldiers and merchant caravans passing by.

After watching, Atlas rushed ahead, crouching by a bush as Lilith tried to jump off his shoulder and rush toward the enemy. He quickly grabbed her and whispered, "Stop, Lily. We can plan this out better and hit them from two sides."
