4 David and Goliath (2/2)
Axel was lucky as he wasn't any closer, causing only peebles to hit him. He panted, ”System… What's… my MP… like…”
[MP: 20/200.]
”Is… is it… dead?” Panted Axel as his vision started to blur.
[No. Only injured and unconscious. It'll wake in 2 weeks and take at least 7 years for it to heal from this.]
Axel could only laugh before he too fell unconcious.

(POV Change)
In an grove filled with flowers and trees, a little girl sat and stared at a depression in a bed of flowers.
Behind her, an old man wearing armour sighed before he said, ”Miss, we should go now. We still need to-” However, before he could finish, a deafening sound rang out through the forest.
The old man quickly turned towards the source as he said, ”That sounds like a rock slide… but, the only place high enough for somethin like that is…”
Suddenly, the little girl twitched before she sprung up and sprinted towards the sound.
All the armoured people stood stunned as the old man screamed, ”Miss!?!”
Olivia ignored him as she ran with all her might. She could still feel it. The Anger, the helplessness and most importantly, the fear of death.
The forest zoomed past her as she finally stopped. In front of her, the once tall mountain was reduced to a small hill. Bits of bloody scales could be seen everywhere, signifying a battle just took place.
The group of armoured people arrived a few minutes later to the sight of Olivia dragging a familiar body from the rock slide.
The old man stared for a second before he exclaimed, ”Axel!?!”
Olivia held him in her arms as she could feel a faint but strong vitality inside him. She said, ”Gramps, he's critically injured but alive. We need to apply first aid, and fast.”
The old man wasted no time as he and the other four people began using healing magic on him. The injuries on the outside healed but because of the mental and physical exhaustion, he remained unconscious.
Olivia sighed and said, ”Great, he's fine now. We'll take him to basecamp to rest and recover. Any objections?”
One of the armoured people removed their helmet, revealing a man. He held his helmet as he said, ”With all due respect miss. This young man is clearly untrustworthy. Not only have we only met today, do you remember his reaction when you asked for his real name? For all we know, he could be a criminal.”
Olivia nodded before she said, ”That's right. However, I can feel that we can trust him.”
”But miss…”
”No buts. I know you just want to protect me but when it comes to seeing through people, I have no equal.”
The man bowed his head as he said, ”Yes, miss.”
Olivia carried the unconsious Axel as she said, ”To basecamp!”
