SPELLBOUND

Chapter 184 - Again



Evie thought it would literally be sending themselves to their deaths if they ended up confronting that savage group of orcs. What should she do? She needed to think of something fast!

She looked behind again and she saw the fight broke out. Even Elias, her butler, was forced to fight.

​​

As she quickly looked about, counting the numbers of the orcs, Evie saw that there were seven savage orcs! There would be no way her men could defeat all of them!!!

Leon covered her head with his large palm and his pace quickened even more than just now. There were many trees that he was trying to evade but seeing that there was one orc that managed to get through the barrier that were their comrades and was now after the both of them, Leon could only move faster. Evie could feel Leon's grip on her tightening to secure her while he run and evade around the trees.

The twigs were slapping against them as he sped up. He knew the princess would get whipped and lashed by the sharp points of the twigs, but he had no choice. These little scrapes and scratches would be preferrable, as long as it was not life threatening!

Her cloak had already been shredded due to Leon's speed as they managed to get widen their distance from the orc a little. It was amazing how Leon still managed to evade the trees and the stone arches at the speed that he was going at.

However, Leon suddenly halted in his tracks and Evie heard cursing coming from him. She was disoriented for a couple of seconds from the sudden and screeching halt by Leon before she could reorientate herself and look around to identify what had happened.

Evie turned and saw a large stone blocking their path. The black stone was so large it was even taller than the surrounding trees and the poisonous fog was already covering half of it.

Without wasting a moment, Leon suddenly put Evie down and held her shoulders as he faced her.

"I'm sorry princess, but you'll have to go on ahead on your own! I will stop this orc from chasing after you right here. Don't worry, I will come after you immediately once I have dealt with it!" Leon said with a grin and a thumbs up for her. Evie only swallowed in concern for Leon's safety.

He smiled at her. "I know you can do it. I am quite certain that there are no more savage orcs on the other side. This might be the gate that Zolan had talked about. The dragons are close now! So, go now, please!" Evie could hear the pleading in his voice.

Before Evie could say a word, Leon grabbed Evie's arm and led her towards a small hole under the large stone. He squatted and upon seeing that the small hole was safe for her to enter, and it was leading towards the other side, Leon gently yet hastily pushed her towards it.

"Please go!" He hurried her to enter the entrance.

Then after saying that, he was gone. As the orc finally reached them, Evie looked behind her shoulder and Leon was already attacking it in the hopes of stopping it from going for Evie.

Her heart bled and her body started to shake. It was happening again. First, her husband made the sacrifice so she could escape. Now her men too were doing the same thing. She was scared to death… that none of them would return to her too… like Gavriel…

"No!" she screamed out as she clenched her fists over her ears. She then crawled into the hole as fast as she could and upon getting out, she started to run again. This was not the time for her to collapse and cry again! She would not give up!

"Wait for me! Hold on everyone! I'll come and help you!!!" she screamed as she continued running. The small wounds she sustained from the wild chase a while ago began to bleed. But she could not feel any pain. All her mind was focused on was just one thing. To reach the dragons and have them help her men and save them from the orcs! She was going to save them! She will save them! Wait for me, please!!

Evie ran and ran. She had tripped over and tumbled on the ground twice and scraped her knees raw due to the small stones on the ground, but she did not stop. The darkness that was thickening as she continued running further.

But despite the bleak situation she was faced with, there was no hint of giving up in her eyes. She rose and ran again as she bled, and her eyes began to glow even brighter the closer she reached the darkest part of the path. Evie just knew that she was getting close. Closer to the edge. To the end of this path. She did not know how she knew it. She just did. It was as though she could feel it in her bones.

She entered the darkness without hesitation, despite not knowing if there was light beyond it or if she could even see anything pass it. Without even slowing down, she just ran and to her relief, she realised that she could see something up ahead.

There were two much larger stone arches looming before her. They were so much larger compared to the huge stone that had blocked their path a little while back.

However, these two arches did not seem like they were swallowed by nature like the rest of the other arches behind her. These were even glowing!

Evie's heart thudded so wildly as she rushed towards it. Dragons! Where are you?! She screamed inside her and at last, she ran through the arch.

And the moment she went through it, two large amber coloured eyes opened in the darkness right before her and aimed its blazing gaze at her.
