Travel II

Serena bit her lip, thinking. "If we go to another god's domain, will that even be enough to keep us safe?"

"For a while," Asher admitted.

"They won't be able to move as freely outside of Malfus's territory. But if they really want me dead, they'll find ways to get around that."

Serena frowned. "Then what's the plan?"

Asher's eyes darkened. "We take out their leadership before they take out us."

"There's a place called Black Hollow Citadel about 500 kilometers from here," he muttered. "It's one of the closest territories belonging to another god. If we make it there, the Blood Cross won't be able to touch us as easily."

Serena folded her arms. "And in the meantime?"

Asher smirked. "We make their lives hell."

Serena raised an eyebrow. "You want them to chase us?"
