"Don't stop!" Sterling called from the front. "Lead them ahead!"
Ahead? What does she mean by that?
But Aren quickly realized what the professor meant. Just right ahead was an area that dipped down into what seemed like an open valley. Most of the terrain was flat which meant it would be easier to see where the attacks were coming from.
"Good call," Daniel said through a strained breath as he adjusted his pace. "Better than getting blindsided every two seconds."
It's not exactly safer, just less unpredictable. Which, given the situation, was the best they were going to get.
The moment they got to the descent, their sprint turned into a slide as the incline dragged downward faster than they could control.
Aren shifted his weight, trying his best not to fall over while keeping Luna secured on his back, a job harder than he'd like to admit.
"Keep moving!" Sterling called from ahead, already adjusting to the slope as she almost reached the base of the valley.
