Across Eternity: Book 5 - Chapter 6

... skill and perfect coordination, severing heads and limbs with remarkable grace. Before they could even think to turn around and run, the last few beastmen were riddled with arrows, courtesy of Shannon galloping over with Valia’s horse.

“Are you two all right?” she asked.

“A little dusty, but that’s about it,” said Noah, patting himself off.

“It’s a shame your horse can’t say the same,” Valia said, petting the slain creature and murmuring an elvish hymn. As a member of the horse tribe, Shannon joined her, her hands clasped as she prayed to the spirits.

“It is unfortunate. We’re going to have to rethink things if we’re going to maintain a good pace. Valia, you and I can share your horse, while Shannon, would you mind carrying our gear?”

“I’d be happy to, Lord Noah,” she said with a bow.

Thus, they rearranged their possessions, loading everything Noah and Valia’s horses carried onto Shannon’s back. Her people were used to traveling this way, so it was no issue for her. The problem came when Noah tried to get up on Valia’s horse with her. It began throwing a fit, refusing to let him on despite their best efforts to calm it.

Shannon clutched her hands bashfully. “I’ve already pledged my loyalty to you both, so this is fine. You need a steed, and I am of the horse tribe, so it’s natural for me to offer my talents. I am bound by oath and honor to serve you with my body however I can.” She then blushed as she realized what she had just said. “Oh, uh, I didn’t mean it like that! I meant, uh… I just meant that I want to be helpful!”

Noah and Valia exchanged another glance, conversing with nothing but their eyes.

‘She’s fallen for you, hasn’t she?’

‘I told you this would happen.’

‘Have you been flirting with her?’

‘The opposite. I was hoping that all the scary stuff in my lab would keep her from developing feelings for me, but I was wrong.’

‘Great job with that.’

‘You’re the one who picked her up.’

‘Not so she could become a part of your harem.’

‘Are you sure she’s not part of yours?’
