Arthur moved as quickly as possible. His mind went into overdrive as he analysed all the information that was available to him. Iris and Haru’s horses were injured too, though only Amra looked to be in danger of dying. Running was too slow, so Wovan teleported him over to his horse even as his eyes raced to locate his companions. Amra’s legs had been cleanly severed.

He stood up and turned his attention to the group that had popped out of the woodwork. Arthur had been (...)
