"Hudi, have you forgotten our covenant?" Hes finally caught her breath and looked at him weakly and helplessly, her face pale as she said, "I can't last much longer, hurry up..."
With gritted teeth, Hudi turned around to grab the dagger from the altar.
But Diket stepped forward and blocked his path with a sword.
"She's deceiving you," the older knight looked at Hudi and said calmly, "You're chasing after nothing more than a phantasm of the past, young man. Besides lies, she will give you nothing."
"Don't listen to him," Hes said weakly, "He's sowing discord, he and those Dragon Worshippers are cut from the same cloth. Don't forget that the only ones we can trust here are each other, Hudi."
After glancing at Diket, she continued, "Don't be afraid of him, Hudi. You're recognized by me, and no one here can harm you. Step forward and do what you must."
Then Hudi turned back to look at the tip of Diket's sword and took a step forward.
