My head felt like there was a monster sitting on it.
Rix helped me sit up. The world was wobbling as I tried to blink it back to normal.
Gesai was already on her feet, Trent had helped her stand up and they both were looking at me.
“For the record.” Trent shook his head. "Hijacking a mindreading spell isn’t a very smart idea.”
I nodded and the motion turned my stomach, I gagged, but didn’t vomit. "Noted.”
Rix looked at Gesai. "She good?”
“For now.” The old man nodded at the RV. "We should get inside and find a better place to fight.”
“Fight?” The word felt like it rolled around in my mouth instead of across my lips.
Gesai and Rix each got under one arm and helped me into the RV. Gesai sat down in the booth and pulled me across the seat with her. Rix let go of me and moved over to the other wall.
Justia and Oz were both up and Hye held his arm tightly around his daughter. They were chattering about something, but my head was in such a fog that I couldn’t follow along.
Trent was in the driver's seat and the RV was moving fast. It felt much faster than we had been going with Rix at the wheel. I looked through the windshield and saw the moon over the road. If there hadn’t been impending danger, it would have been a beautiful thing to see.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Except while I had been in the turret, the moon had been behind us. We had turned around.
“Why are we going back?!” My head was feeling clearer.
“We can’t risk fighting Harror.” Trent raised his voice to talk over the others. It wasn’t needed though, they stopped talking as soon as I asked my question.
“We’re going to run into Sipher.” I closed my eyes. We were running straight for a fight that was way out of my league.
“The Cathedral has already been notified. Enforcers are coming to meet us!”
I nodded, the Enforcers were the All-Temple’s police force. We also could trust that if there were fighters coming from the Cathedral, they would be on our side.
I looked at Hye, who had his arms around his daughter and niece. They had sat down in the booth across from me, which allowed Rix to take shotgun.
“Did he get to Tier Six?”
“Nope!” The older man laughed. "He didn’t even get a level, but his minions got up to Tier Four.” He smiled broadly. "And I hit Tier Five!”
“Congrats Dad!” Justia squeezed him, but the action looked nervous, almost uncomfortable.
“Was he mad when you left him?” Oz on the other hand, looked very content to have her Uncle’s arm around her.
“We actually didn’t leave him.” Hye took a deep breath. "He said that there was something he had to personally handle and left his minions with us. We decided to take a break for a few minutes, when Paul called us. We hit the gate and then Teleported here.”
“Where were you Farming?” Oz seemed very invested in the story.
“Jyscor.” He nodded in the direction we were heading. "It’s a good ways south, but it’s a Temple controlled dungeon, so we didn’t have to worry about upsetting a God by using undeclared magic in the city.”
I had a feeling that Trent had planned it that way in case he needed to make a quick exit.
We got out of the forest and started heading north on the road through the fields.
We hadn’t gone too far when Trent announced. "They’re here!”
