He made sure to keep a safe distance between him and his enemiesWhenever they were poised to catch up he would lose theain for six hours, never clashi+ng but never losing track of each other
Cloudhawk knehere he had the advantage, and he kne to make use of itHis enemies were many, but that made them slow and unwieldy
The trail of blood they’d found? Cloudhawk had planted it on purposeFor one thing, he had to get thehthouse PointOtherwise, they would have continued killing those poor peopleIt also gave them the mistaken impression that he was hurtThe aim was to make them feel overconfidentIt was the same reason he didn’t use his relic cloak to escape
The young de up the chaseHowever, they were starting to question their decision as they struggled back and forth to gain ground without catching sight of him
He still hadn’t collapsedOn the contrary, his pursuers began to tire while Cloudhawk just kept goingLuna, who had been using her senses to track hi exhausted
Both of the deer than Cloudhawk, and the soldiers they brought were each about his equivalentIt was a sharp disparity in strength, but out in the wastelands it wasn’t always strength that won fightsExperience, patience, and luck were one’s weaponsOften times the weaker beasts of the wastes could take on a foe vastly stronger and win handily
Eventually Cloudhawk’s intentions became clear to the elysians: pretend to be weak and force them into exhaustion!
Liketo be weak so as to confound his pursuersAt the lastthem by surpriseMuch like a pack of wolves Cloudhaould take a bite out of their forces, slowly chipping away at their strengthThen when they were exhausted he would strike – expending the least and e he could cause
The wastelands were a cruel and effective teacherCloudhaas a talented studentOver time the Skycloud soldiers slowed to a crahile he hadn’t weakened at all

Luna turned her head and looked at the soldiersStragglers were falling farther behind, stretching their group outShe could tell at a glance they were tired, not at their bestTheir prey was iven him credit for, more tenacious than predictedTheir soldiers wouldn’t be able to keep this up for very lers were left behind to try and catch up, while the demonhunters pressed aheadHowever, this spread them thinWas this not the traitor’s intention?
“I think we’ve been trickedThe turncoat isn’t injured at all!” Raith had co with sweat his eyes were as hard and as cold as iceHe regularly scanned the horizon“He’s clearly skilled at traveling through the ruinsBut if he thinks that will be enough to save hiravely underestimated us”
He reached to his waist where an elaborate arrow had been strung through his belt and pulled it freeIt was unclear what the arroas th of a hand and arcane runes had been carved all along its surfaceThe ht of surprise in her eyes“You’re going to use the Lifedrinker?”
The Lifedrinker arrowRaith’s heirloom relic!
He’d only acquired it recently, and as such he wasn’t very proficient in its useE it unsuitable for most situationsNow appeared to be the time
The arrow emitted a crisp and melodious sound, then like an extendable baton its ends snapped out to lowed ht – an indication that the relic had been awakened
“Our group is too slow getting through these ruinsIf we continue, ill this chase end?” He slowly lifted the arrow in his hands“It is a disgrace to use the Lifedrinker on this turncoat, but we are beset by dangers all throughout these blighted landsOur eneIt is worthy to use this arrow to ensure the safety of our holy warriors, and to end this farce quickly!”
