Lost Losla
Jay could hear deep thumping noises and see flashes of light somewhere deep in the forest.
He almost stopped running and looked in wonder as a mage hunter flew into the sky before crashing down somewhere in another part of the forest.
Suddenly he heard Lara’s voice again - she sounded desperate and stressed.
“Don’t come to the stink-rat marsh. Flee Losla. We’ll find you… I promise.”
“What?” Jay said, without pulling out his crystal, “What the fuck is happening!?”
Hopelessness gripped him again. The forest suddenly went quiet.
He stopped running, pulling out the crystal to say something, but he had no words. All he could do was hopelessly grasp at the crystal in his hands.
He didn’t even get a chance to reply anyway. They simply just left him.
“Fuck…”
Humans had abandoned him again, leaving only a promise behind.
He quickly thought about his options.
Going back to Losla was not possible, as he would be identified soon enough.
