The boulder shattered against my shield, there was a pause in the time that it did. And for a moment I found myself stunned.
The spider webs that had been so prominent around had dissipated into intermittent places. There placing was sort of weird, like some sort of giant crop circle. Only this was smaller, localized.
I grit my teeth as I was pushed forward, the commander that had met up with us had already taken control of the situation.
Had forced us to move forward despite the numerous injuries that our squad held. He then tried to force himself over and into the back where he thought he would be safest.
And it was true, he was able to just stay safe while life after life was lost. It was absolutely horrid and an act of cowardice.
But if we wanted to live then we had to obey his orders.
I touched my neck and gripped the silver locket. I sighed then let it go once more, my other hand keeping my broken shield tightly bound.
