One of them spoke, "Aureus, just watch. Don't intervene."
The younger Divine Eagle who was about to lunge paused. "Shouldn't we help? Erlos is alone and looks to be struggling. The King's mate is there as well."
"Don't worry. Erlos is not that weak to fail handling a few brainless orcs," Morpheus countered as the two landed on the top of a tree far enough to not be noticed by those fighting near the river.
Morpheus' gaze landed on Ember, the human girl visibly shaking as she hid behind a cluster of boulders, and for a moment, he was tempted to intervene and bring her away immediately but…he dropped the idea. Morpheus was hailed as the strongest warrior of Agartha, and as someone who practically lived his whole life in the battlefield, he could have dealt with those orcs in a matter of seconds.
But what good would that too? It would be helpful to the growth of Erlos' and Ember's mentalities if they were allowed to solve this problem on their own.
