Chapter 75: Kidnapping Gabriel
"Two centuries, huh?" Pedro said as they moved through the dense underbrush, breaking the silence.
"Guess that makes you the oldest member of our ragtag team. Feel like sharing any ancient secrets, Grandpa?"
Kael gave him a smile.
"Like how to bake the perfect bread over an open flame? Or maybe you'd prefer tips on how to dodge arrows without breaking a sweat?"
Pedro snorted. "If you know how to dodge Meylo's wrath, that's the one we need."
Lirian sighed.
"Can we focus, please? We're about to go up against Raphael, Meylo, and an entire fortress. Banter isn't going to get us out of this."
Pedro raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, fine. Back to serious mode."
"You're right. This isn't going to be easy. But remember, you're not alone in this."
She nodded, though doubt was planted in her mind.
