Chapter Nineteen
"Thank the ancestors, you're okay!"
He quickly inspected his own body to find that his wound wasn't bruised anymore, "Yeah I guess I am okay."
"You're lucky Snow was here; otherwise you'd be dead." Spyro said.
"Are you sure your okay Soul?" Cynder asked. Soul didn't feel any pain from the wound whatsoever, and stood up.
"I'll be fine, but we should head to Warfang. We've already wasted enough time." He started making his way towards the temple, but was stopped by Snow
"Wait! We can't just ignore your injury; what even happened out there?" Snow asked.
They didn't have time for this. "That doesn't matter now, we need to-"
"Tell us!" She had an iron grip on his forearm.
He sighed, "I went after a deer for us to eat this morning and got hurt, okay! It's nothing to make a big deal out of. Lets just go." He pulled his arm away and headed towards the entrance. As he neared the outside, Soul heard something as he inched closer to the sunlight.
"THAT'S not a big deal?! You need to be careful; running off on your own to hunt deer without a thought is reckless and-" Snow was interrupted.
"We need to leave, now!" Soul looked over the others' heads,glancing back into the temple to be sure they weren't being followed.
Spyro noticed his alerted and urgent tone. "What's wrong?" Spyro asked.
"Fury knows I'm free, and he sent someone after me. You need to listen to everything I say if you want to make it out of alive, got it?!" The group looked at each other before nodding.
"Okay, we're going to fly through the hole in the roof; from there, we need to split up. I'll go with Snow." He gestured at Spyro, "You and Cynder will head in a different direction. We'll meet you at Warfang when we make it out. On my signal; are you guys ready?" They all nodded and waited for their signal. Then they heard a branch snap.
Soul shouted, "NOW!" They all took flight and flew through the roof. As they went through the gaping hole, a slew of arrows flew through the air towards them. Some arrows narrowly missed Soul and other dragons. He and Snow split from Spyro and Cynder and flew through the fading sunlight.
