Fae and Fare (The Wandering Inn, #2)

by Pirateaba

The enemy camp was full of running soldiers, and a thick white smoke that covered the main tent. Zel saw them running towards him, but they hadn’t even spotted the army running up the ridge yet. No, they were chasing something else. Zel grinned. “A monster attack, or reinforcements from another side? Either way, this is our chance.” He looked back as the first [Soldier] made it up towards him. Zel raised a claw into the air and shouted. “Charge!” He shot down the slope, and heard his army roaring behind him as they surged down the incline. Zel ran towards the smoke, unsure of what he’d find. Something was in the air, and it stank so horribly he wanted to gag. But he ran on, prepared for everything. Everything, except for a tall Human female sprinting out of the smoke, running as if Wyverns were on her tail. Zel’s charge faltered as he saw her sprinting away, shouting. “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—” The Human girl wasn’t alone. Soldiers billowed out of the smoke, practically half of the camp. They paused as they saw the charging army, but the girl just turned and sprinted away from both groups.
