ตอน 265: Chapter 265

When Aneva had said we'd appear next to her, I'd assumed that was what she meant. Next to her. Not on top of her. Sandra let out a yelp as I hit her, and a moment later, so did Tilly who landed on top of me.

"Aiden?"

"Yeah, I'm here," I said. "Tilly?"

"I'm fine, mostly."

Tilly rolled off me, and I got to my feet quickly or tired too, but my head hit something. I looked around and rolled my eyes. We were in a cage and surrounded by stunned guards. Of course, we were because nothing was easy for me. I glanced at Sandra whose body was now encased in shadows. "Enemies, I'm assuming?"

Her smile was grim. "Yes, all of them."

That was all I needed to hear. I focused and pulled solar aether up to my hands. I let out thin beams of solar energy, aiming them at the chains binding Sandra. After that, darkness engulfed us as shouting arose from around us. I felt Sandra form a technique and heard the bending of metal.
