I was chasing Vivienne—yes, chasing, what a character development—when I swung for her leg again when suddenly—
CLANG!
Ravian parried me so hard I felt my ancestors vibrate.
I stumbled back, boots scraping against the ground.
"Get behind me," Ravian said, stepping in front of Vivienne like a loyal guard dog. "Summon your weapon and support me."
My ear twitched. 'Nice try but that's not gonna happen.'
Vivienne was a long-range fighter. If I let her breathe for even a second, I'd be turned into decorative pincushion art.
No, thank you.
"Sebastian," I whispered quickly, eyes never leaving them, "let's separate them."
He didn't even question it.
Good.
I like teammates who commit to chaos.
Sebastian immediately hurled his combat axe straight at Ravian.
"Shit!" Ravian cursed as he was forced to parry.
While he was distracted, I closed the gap and kicked him away from Vivienne with everything I had.
Swoosh!
An arrow suddenly zipped past my face.
