Chapter 340:
Prince Vitar's Point of View
Capital of Vithari - Dwardew
Unknown Ti
"My Prince," General Dwar called out, exhausted but without a scratch. "The Druids are growing tired."
Another wave had pushed through the gate. "We hold as long as we can, General." My n were on the verge of collapse, and morale was almost nonexistent. "Sothing will give if we continue to survive. I believe that with all my might." There were no cheers or nods of acknowledgnt, only tired stares.
"Of course." Dwar was the only one who replied.
"Send word to the won and every strong lad able to hold a weapon..." I ordered Tart, who was off to the side. "Have them steel themselves." Many of my n hung their heads at that, but we had no choice.
"Are you sure that is wise, your highness?"
I looked at him. "Do it." My breathy tone got a nod from him as sweat poured down my cheeks. "Dwar..." He moved closer to at my whisper. "How much longer will the Druids hold?"
His breathing was heavy as well. "Not long. Even if we go out and give them ti to rest... I fear we are reaching our limit."
Closing my eyes, my head tilted back as I felt the hamr's weight in my two hands. "Have hope, Dwar. Hope that this will end one way or another."
His beard was matted against his chest in so areas as he placed his shield on his back. "I'd rather hope for your survival, my Prince."
"There is no survival for a King without his people." I answered back. "My fate shall be the sa as theirs."
There were dozens of explosions, and the ground shook beneath our feet at that mont. It was so sudden and jarring that many soldiers fell down. If not for Dwar, the sa would've happened to . My eyes imdiately darted around the underground city. Looking for any signs where the enemy might've broken in.
"Prince Vitar!" Lady Turiel called from above the gate. "You need to see this!"
Rushing up to the battlents took a minute or two, but she refused to even look at us when I found her. More explosions had continued to ring out as we approached. Her eyes were fixated, watching out one of the jeweled windows. When I followed her gaze, an airship heading straight towards us was all I could see.
Elincia's Point of View
Near Dwarven Capital
We had stopped in front of a mist of sorts. Ventari was beside herself as the faint sounds of battle could be heard. Arthur was at the front of the ship, trying to figure out if the mist was a threat. He put his hand in it, tried to disperse it, and attempted to destroy it. All ended in failure.
Eventually, he turned to the Captain and gave a nod. "We're going in! Brace yourselves!" Allen ordered across the deck.
"Prepare for battle." Arthur quickly stated afterward.
Slowly, we moved into the mist as the ship gained speed. The sounds of battle grew louder and louder before it eventually went completely silent. Ventari was pacing across the deck back and forth near the railing. Watching, waiting for any glimpse of her ho. After the incident on the coast, I don't bla her.
Moving to Arthur, Kheri followed . "What do you think?" He asked.
Raising my hand as I felt the mist across my body, I answered. "It is magical in nature. Obviously, there would be no mist in the desert like this. Although I do not know its purpose."
"Mmh." Arthur humd in thought.
"Do you think this is the trap?" I inquired.
Without looking at , he scoffed. "Do you think it's not?" Arthur kept looking around suspiciously. "There is only one person I know that uses mist like this."
We traveled quietly for a ti. That is until the ship jerked suddenly. Arthur turned his head instantly as we started to descend.
"What're you doing?" He asked loudly as the crew began scrambling.
"It wasn't ! The ship is losing power!" Allen shouted back. "Our magic is disappearing."
Arthur whipped to . "Elincia, Alwin was able to keep the last airship afloat with his magic for a ti. I need you to do the sa."
Nodding, I went to activate my magic only to find it was gone. My eyes blinked slowly as I focused more intently on sothing that should've been easy. The magic would gather in my hand for a mont before evaporating entirely.
"I can't." I told him with wide eyes.
