POV Valis
I didn't realize how bad the situation was until we found ourselves surrounded by enemies, and when we turned around, the only thing there to help us was Forren. The worst possible guardian, not because he is a bad combatant, quite the opposite, but when he fights, he tends to forget things; sometimes his instincts take over his rationality, and that's why he's not a good bodyguard.
Folarin next to me looked just as panicked as I was as the soldiers next to us were showing themselves on the top of the roofs around us. They were confident enough to stop hiding, but as soon as they saw Forren with them, they became wary, and none of them dared to attack.
