Wedan managed to stop the incoming blow, pushing the winged man back. As I lowered my hands, Wedan turned his head slightly towards me and said, "Get out of here, now."
I didn't know what to say. I was momentarily speechless. I understood the danger of the situation, but I didn't want to run away. Even if I couldn't speak, I wanted to stay and help Wedan. As I gathered my thoughts and opened my mouth to speak, a calm and clear voice came from the other side.
"Prince Wedan of Ice, it's been a long time," said the voice.
"Red Falcon Utsumi," replied Wedan. "What an honor. If I had known you were coming, I would have made preparations."
"I see you're in over your head as usual, Wedan," said Utsumi.
"What can I say? I'm in a bad mood. But I'm not the problem here. Why are you here, Utsumi? Or do you have some new business with me?"
"You overestimate yourself, Wedan. We both know I'm not here for you," said Utsumi.
