Chapter song: QUE CE SOIT CLAIR - Paul Kalkbrenner ft. Stromae
Kenneth's eyes widened, and his breath momentarily caught in his throat as he watched with unblinking eyes as one of the wolves in the back lunged for his Striker at top speed.
Dread filled his stomach like fresh water to a pond. Or water in a glass.
Lucien was all alone, and having to deal with four wolves on his own wouldn't be an easy feat. However, the Striker managed to dodge to the left, flicking his sword and aiming it straight at the wolf's spine.
The wolf cried out in a sharp, splintering yelp before lunging forward again, jaws snapping where Lucien had stood a fraction of a second earlier.
Kenneth's pulse hammered in his ears.
Lucien didn't retreat.
He pivoted.
