S1 E67: False Kings Pt. 5

Emilio Lazarus (Present Day)

Gazing into the hole, I saw the shocked eyes of Armando. The light drywall dust peppered his clothing as he struggled to free himself from the unexpected predicament. It was both hilarious and terrifying to witness.

Okay… Maybe Banusi isn’t as weak as we originally thought and there’s a legitimate reason he’s a teacher designated for attack if hunters ever came here… Armando really shouldn’t have pissed him off.

I felt eyes boring into the back of my head, sending chills down my spine as my hair stood on end. Turning, I discovered Banusi’s golden eyes burning with a challenge. It was a battle I knew I wouldn’t win. Caving to my original instincts, I put my hands up and calmly escorted myself off the stage. I didn’t care if this made me look weak. Staying alive for a challenge another day when I was stronger was a better plan than fighting a losing battle.

I’m sure my clan's elder will understand. There is no way I’m getting involved any further.
