We were losing. I could see it in the way the knights moved, their strikes slower, their defenses faltering. The bonewraiths were relentless, their numbers growing as more of them emerged from the darkness, their hollow eyes glowing with a terrifying hunger. We'd managed to take down a few, but it wasn't enough. We were being overwhelmed.
Hael and Corvina were gone, and I had to make a decision.
"Fall back!!" I shouted, the words tearing from my throat. My voice cut through the chaos, and I saw the relief in the knights' eyes as they began to retreat. They knew we couldn't hold our ground any longer.
The knights came running back into the temporary barriers Archmage Deus was making. They didn't hold for long but they allowed some time for the knights to breathe.
Then, without warning, flames erupted from behind us.
!?!?!
