The whole thing was sudden, as the axe flew towards me, I had barely a second to dodge. And to be honest, I was late. I didn't see myself dodging without losing my ear at the very least, worse, my left eye could suffer for this heavy mistake.
However, in that same breath, a whip lashed out and connected with the axe with brutal force, sending it off course.
Sulin shouted from her position.
"What are you doing spacing out, we're under attack!"
Startled, I exploded to my feet.
This was the loudest I've seen her talk and she was even using a whip. These were all things she had not done in the Night Auction.
'Maybe, she had not really gone there to fight.'
Whichever way, that was a food for another day's thought. Right now, I had to understand what was going on around me.
We were surrounded; Sulin was holding Harter behind her on the other side of the column platform, while I was alone on this side.
