“Stick together and don't get overwhelmed!" You stood your ground to fight them off.

You rushed, grabbing Cardin by the arm and hoisted him up.

“I didn’t need your—”

“Shut up and watch my back!”

The other students slayed the ursi eventually, but at the cost of heavy exhaustion. You, Cardin, and the other four students managed to survive but more arrived. You did notice one student just shouting orders, but not fighting himself… Nah, maybe he’s blocking and drawing the aggression instead.

“More of them!”

Beowulves emerged from the bushes, along with harpie grimms, birds of wide wing span and sharp talons. Today was getting better and better… You hoped the teachers would give you extra credit or something! What does a student gotta do to get some points around here?

“Watch out!”

You sprinted with your shoulder out, tackling the beowulf before its jaw grabbed Nikos, then plunged Sheila into its stomach.

“Our way home is back there, make a fighting retreat, we're dead meat here!” You shouted.

You saw two glints in the forest.

>Two girls slashed their way through behind the grimms. One with dual daggers and another with a longsword.
>Two dudes slashed their way through behind the grimms. One with dual daggers and another with a longsword.

I am alive, I've been going through a reenlistment process and it's been busy, thank you for waiting all
