I just stared at the armored group of dwarves in front of me while sun was shining behind them, dazzling my eyes. And they also stared at Dorhud, Ezareth, and me blankly… clearly not expecting us.
Then, suddenly, as if they finally managed to understand the situation, the barrels turned on us. It all happened so suddenly that I found myself the target of a hail of bullets in an instant.
'Watch out Aiden!'
Sith literally screamed in my mind, and I tried to throw myself back around the corner we had just passed, but I couldn't move as fast as I needed to. Dorhud was the one who saved my life.
When he grabbed me by the shoulder and threw us both back, the bullets flew past me. Even then… two of them, I think, went through my left shoulder and began to burn intensely there.
"Run, boy!"
My eyes widened, then time finally began to flow as it does.
"Ah..."
