Just in time to help

The moment I stepped out into the sunlight, Svhen rode into the courtyard in a deafening clatter of horse hooves. “Lions…in the northern meadow. We can’t hold them off.”

My chest constricted. Kat was out there with them.

“Where?”

I turned to find Wren had come to the stable door and was already leading her horse out into the open. I knew I would lose valuable time just in running for my bow and quiver; so, when Svhen opened his mouth to question her presence, I didn’t wait for him to start. “Tell her, Svhen, and then wait for me,” I ordered, already ducking into the stable for my weapons. Thankfully, Svhen obeyed.

Chapter II of Wren Romany's tale is up and read for reading. Enjoy!
