Fired!

Gavyn, created by Yanissa Bumroongrachahirun

Gavyn charged through the corridors of the castle, his bare clawed feet slipping across the golden tiles. He managed to keep his balance, without losing his grip on the comatose young woman. He ran through the castle doors and out into the streets of Aerelon. The lantern light quickly faded into the darkness. The scarabs chased after him untiringly. An NME General flew in behind them taking aim at Gavyn with its blaster arm.

Rounding the corner into the market, Gavyn kicked over a pyramid of wine barrels, hoping to slow down the robots. But as the scarabs slowed down, the general found the opening he was looking for. Instinctively, Gavyn tossed the maiden high into the air, and barrel-rolled out of the line of fire. He dove back and caught her in his arms just in time. He glanced back at the general, knowing it had a clear line of fire.
