"Human, you…"
"Shut up." Alex cut Alejandro off, the latter glancing back at him as he added. "I know what you're about to say and though honorable, it's stupid."
"But…"
"This Platadoris guy knows you and Ana are the heavy hitters of our group. I don't know why he wishes for you both to remain but one thing is for sure. If his reach encompasses the entire Wandering Forest, I doubt we'd be able to return to Aragon unscathed. So instead of risking my life with a retreat, I'd rather we stay together."
"I see. Then let us go together in good faith. May Viracocha grant us victory in this battle."
It would seem I was lenient. Regardless, if you wish to refuse my concession, I have no choice but to retract it and punish your lot in kind.
With that, the corrupted mutants and vines attacked.
Alex exclaimed. "Ana!"
Reacting to the call, Ana stretched out her hands and immediately, time stopped.
