Or maybe they’re on a mission just like us,”[/color] Gradon said in response to Tzi. He found a nice tree beside where his tent used to be before leaning against the hardened bark with crossed arms. [color=ed1c24]“Of course, that’s probably just wishful thinking. If word got out that the Princess is traveling with us…then she’s probably their priority,”[/color] he offered with a smile. He was confident in their own secrecy to where that wouldn’t have been the case. The cadets would have some lingering time to themselves before something truly horrendous would snap them out of their lulling states. A sound that pierced the winds and seemed to resonate from deep within the ruins. And yet it echoed with such hate and ferocity that it was enough to make Viola near jump out of her skin in terror. Gradon widened his own eyes and stared in the direction of the scout team’s trail. Just what the hell was going on there? [color=ed1c24]“Princess Ires!”[/color] Gradon said when their leader seemingly passed out under mysterious circumstances. Was it the strain of that roar or something more? Whatever it was, Viola was thankfully by her side in seconds, lifting the unconscious girl up armor and all while looking to him for answers. [color=ed1c24]“That doesn’t sound like a human enemy. We need to move out and help our comrades out as fast as we can,”[/color] he said, already looking for the rest around their camp. [color=ed1c24]“Tzi, Esther, rally up!”[/color] Gradon said, glaring slightly as he saw Clean dash without order to go and assist. While he had the right idea, blindly charging into the fray was licensed to get them all killed. [color=ed1c24]“Everyone move out. We’re heading to the ruins. Viola, stay in the back and keep the Princess out of danger,”[/color] he said, already leading the way with a sprint.
