Chapter 139 Titan (1/2)
Arran's hand iiant woh it didn't look like there was trouble, appearances could be deceiving, and a stranger showing up so suddenly was cause for concern
Yet as Arran moved to draw his blade, Stoneheart stopped him
”No need,” the novice said, voice at ease ”That's my cousin If she's here, it means my uncle must have sent her”
At once, Arran relaxed Not just because the woman wasn't an enemy, but also because if Stoneheart's uncle had sent her, then Snowcloud would have ot a better look at the wo more startled at her appearance
She looked to be in her late twenties, and although she was thickly muscled, other than her size she ell-proportioned, with long black hair that flowed down her shoulders like a waterfall and a face that was quite beautiful
Yet her size… that was enough toabout the woman seemed oversized She towered above the recruits around her, her shoulders dwarfed even Stoneheart's, her legs were like marble pillars, and her breasts—
”If you keep staring like that, I',” the woman said, some amusement in her voice

Tuya frowned, then gestured back to the group of recruits, where Arran noo iant woman that he had entirely failed to notice theh to keep you safe,” Tuya said to Stoneheart Then, she turned to Arran ”Ghostblade, let's go!”
Without waiting for a reply, she dashed off into the woods, crashi+ng through several s to notice
Arran shot a dumbfounded look at Stoneheart, but as he did, a loud voice sounded in the distance ”Stop dawdling!”
Stoneheart shrugged ”Go She doesn't like to wait”
With a final nod to Stoneheart, Arran rushed off in pursuit of the giant woh he was by the sudden turn of events, he was coroup and Snowcloud were safe
It took him some effort to catch up with Tuya, herher forith a speed he could only barely lance
”So,” she said, her voice calm despite the thunderous sound of her footsteps ”The Bloodher speak of Bloodup with her, it took Arran a few moments to think of what to say
