PoV Valis
'Damn it, we're surrounded. I don't think we can safely get out of here while causing as little damage as possible.' I thought while slowly distancing myself from the window, I had both magical staff along with me along with the dimensional cape, all the stored spells Folarin carefully made for us, and the rest of the items hidden in the cape.
I was ready to go, and so was everyone else. Everyone finished gearing up in less than a minute. We were slowly exchanging glances to see what we needed to do. Everyone seemed hesitating on what to do, so I decided to be the one making the first move.
As I began to gather some of my mana, Folarin put her right hand over my left shoulder; she looked desperate; tears were about to scroll down her eyes; she didn't want to cause a tragedy; she had grown too used to the people living in our same neighborhood.
