Xian Xi
Ahead of us, a wind storm begins to blare. It moves towards our direction, picking up rocky debris and stone fragments in its wake.
"Not now!" Rames whispers hoarsely, cursing loudly.
We glance behind us, the demons are closing in faster. Those in front of us start slowing down, unsure whether to keep going forward or to…
The wind howls violently, tearing through the loud roar of the beasts.
We have no choice.
Shielding our eyes, we keep going foward - though at an unhurried pace.
Rock shards tear at my skin, drawing blood instantly.
My head is left bare and exposed to the facilities of the wind.
The monsters slow down behind us as well. Some have fallen due to the impact from the sharp rocks. That could be one of us too.
A huge stone is lifted by the powerful wind.
Muffles shouts erupts from those in front but we can't make out their words.
Then, we see it.
It heads directly for our little group. It's too close for me to run away in time - because of my limp.
