Raze's lungs burned as she sprinted through the forest… Branches snapped under her boots, and she was already covered in injuries, but she didn't mind them at all.

She gritted her teeth as she looked behind her… The enemies are getting too close!
Now or never.
She raised the bell and rang it once.
