They shoved away fro a space of about ten metersIt lasted only a ht it produced hid the but a battle at full-tilt
Cloudhawk sighed“I’m sorry, reallyI don’t think I can keepdown on his gauntlet once moreThe force of it al to run off with Dawn? With all you’ve done for her, where does that leave me?”
Cloudhawks’ face fell in pain and sadness“That’s not itI’ to make it”

He sighed again“Half a year ago, the Cloud God badly wounded my mindThen, Arcturus badly wounded e can be reversed in sixit out of here aliveBut seeing you like this… it’s enough for me”
Selene froze
She didn’t know the power of the Cloud God, but she did know just how overwhel Arcturus wasNow here they were, a little under two hundred days from that clash and Cloudhaas still aliveHe was harder to kill than a cockroachBut it seerown stronger
He definitelythat threatened his life…
No! He can’t die!
Cloudhawk and Selene had exchanged two explosive blowsDawn couldn’t just stand bySo with her hands wrapped around Terrangelica she threw herself into the frayShe inserted herself blade first between Cloudhawk and the Apostle
Selene’s anger eruptedAll of this was her faultYou thoughtless, psychopathic bitch! If the idiot didn’t let herself get caught, things never would have gotten to this pointCloudhaouldn’t have been forced to put his life in danger!
If you asked Selene who should die today, unequivocally the ansas: HerShe gave her opinion with her sword
Dawn had never gotten along with Selene, and today she was ready to rip the sanctimonious woman apartIt was incredible to her that Selene could have such a cold heartIt was expected that others would raise their arainst Cloudhawk, but her? She couldn’t fathohteous bitch deserves to die as a lonely old crone!
WhatThefuck!?! Cloudhaas speechlessOnce Dawn broke in to confront Selene, all bets would be off‘Thankfully’, Phain suddenly rushed in with his quick-draw techniqueDawn had to defend herself with her sword and was knocked away
Phain pressed the attack, his sword raining down upon his forht you most of what you knowLet’s see hoell you learned”
Dawn squared off against her one-time instructor“You always used to harp on about justiceBut what justice is there? My grandfather died while defending our realm, stabbed in the back by a devious snakeThat snake still leads youIs this the justice you were talking about?”
Phain sprang into the airAs he bridged the distance he was surrounded by an onslaught of flashi+ng sword strikes“Enough nonsense! You are a traitor to Skycloud, and worse a traitor to the Teed a dozen blows in the space of an instantPhain’s Teet involved until they were ordered to
Frost and Atlas glanced at one another and through it shared their intentYet they did not intervene and instead only watchedIt appeared neither Dawn nor Cloudhaould be able to escape anyway
“These four think their ruses to be so clever, none can see through the before hihCloudhawk and Selene, Dawn and PhainEach made such a show of their conflict, but not an ounce of lethal intent was revealedSmoke and mirrors, clumsily portrayedWhile their attempts could fool h it
And yet, what an ihters! Each one was more impressive than the lastIf their predecessors had half as s would be very different in SkycloudHe wouldn’t have needed to spend a fraction as oals
“Governor! Let me teach them a lesson!” Two of those predecessors rose to their feet expectantlyBut Arcturus did not grant the request“JanusI leave it to you”
A ure slowly rose to his feet; Janus ‘Many-Faced’ Umbra, Skycloud’s consummate assassin and leader of the Court of ShadowsHe answered his Governor’s suestures, his body dissolved intomore than a wisp of smoke
“The rest of you, be stillThe real enemy has only just arrived” With this cryptic revelation Arcturus lifted his eyes toward the heavensThe others follows suit and when they witnessed the truth, their faces grew dark
In the skies over Sanctuary, the air was choked with threads of blackTendrils of sinister clouds gathered like the groping fingers of Gehenna itselfDarkness sed the landscape, inching closer to their fortress
Cloudhawk hada portion of the fortress he’d done little to impact the Elysian force as a wholeIf he only had such a paltry force, only a fool would iine that Cloudhaould be able to take Sanctuary alone
The power that really threatened the thousands of soldiers garrisoned here was encroaching with that ominous darkness
