The Lone Storm
Lane raced through the forest, her excitement growing with every step.
Now that she was alone, she no longer had to divide her attention between attacking and protecting others. During the previous battle, part of her focus had always been on the warriors fighting beside her, ensuring they stayed alive. But now there was nobody to protect.
For the first time since arriving here, she could fight without restraint.
A small smile appeared on her lips.
Finally.
No mages to shield.
No retreat to cover.
No allies to worry about.
Only enemies.
The trees blurred past as she moved swiftly through the forest. Branches swayed overhead while scattered sunlight filtered through the canopy. Her footsteps were almost silent as she closed in on the marching undead army.
"Victor always says I'm too reckless," she muttered.
A soft chuckle escaped her.
"Well... he's not here to stop me."
The thought alone improved her mood.
