Chapter 38

The warriors cheered and on horseback trotted out the open gates. 

"Fuck." I muttered. 

I sighed. A resurrecting tree? I really should leave this doomed town.

Morgana's words played in my mind, "Sorcery rises."

"I suppose if I don't have their backs, who will? It is the right thing to do."

I had to fly higher on the metal plate, but I managed to follow behind with only minimal wild strafing. The cool breeze danced past me ruffling through my hair. My new sense of persistent fearlessness allowed me to enjoy the freedom. Back on earth, a plane journey would have been horrifying. 

Now, floating low in the sky, I felt a secure sense of control.

The pace was hard and fast for those below as they chewed up the rolling hills and then burst into the outer woods. Thankfully, for my dignity the horses had to slow down in the woods and follow trails wide enough for me and my improvised flight vehicle.
