Infinity| A Time After

|Threat pt.2|

Okay nuggets,

The reason last chapter was a separate update from all the other chapters that I already wrote is because I just found it..

And reposted it!
This chapter was already written and was supposed to be posted but then my book was taken down😔

Anywhore, ONWARDS!!

|Arthur's POV|

Slowly, the darkness that had enveloped me started to dissipate. My lungs felt like they'd been bathed in acid as I heaved for breath. Both my throat and nostrils burned and a metallic taste settles heavily in my mouth. A groan barely makes it past my aching throat as I tried to open my eyes.

Above me stood a flaming wolf, paws situated on my chest while an uncanny look of overwhelming panic rests on his face.

"Princess! Wake up, we have a problem!!" Regis yells in my face as I stare up at him with widened eyes. Immediately sitting up, the sounds around me started to register. The ground trembled under the heavy blows and spell fire that was happening around me. Screams of what I could only describe as terror rebounds off the cavern walls.

"Regis? What's going on?! What happened??" I quickly stood to my feet, rushing towards where I felt the most pressure.

"The Alacryan's attacked from the tunnels. No one knew that there were still a battalion of them waiting in the deeper parts of Darv. They were awaiting the arrival of their Scythes, but that's not the biggest problem." Regis says as he darts off with me following close behind him.

"The biggest problem are the Wraiths. The 'Asura killers' that Agrona have been keeping on the sidelines up until now. One of them was responsible for the gas you were breathing in, which was supposed to kill you, but obviously didn't. I can't wait to see the look on their faces." Regis cackles as he runs ahead of me, leading me to god knows where. All I knew was that the pressure I was feeling, was far greater than that of a Scythe, and that the pressure itself came from multiple people, not one.

"Regis? The Scythes—"

"Went through the portal and into the sanctuary."

"...What?" I skid to a halt as Regis turns to look at me, coming to a stop a few feet away from me. Panic spikes within my chest as well over a thousand scenarios start to play heavily in my mind.

"Lightning boi and frosty girl chased after them, and you fail to remember that Elder brittle-bones is back at the sanctuary too." Despite the ridiculous names, his words did give me a sense of relief. I know my Lance counterparts are stronger than before, strong enough to be able to kill a retainer, and eliminate a Scythe if they tag team. And I know for sure that Elder Levis wouldn't have a problem dealing with a Scythe, since he nearly killed an Asura himself.

Though that didn't ease my worries for my family. A battle between those forces are bound to end in destruction, and there are still civilians there.

"Get ahold of yourself! We have our own issues to deal with here!!" He growls in my mind as the ground beneath us rumbles.
