Chapter 212: “Nightstrike”

Boötes sat up

as Andromeda reached for

the spear on the ground.

Freeing the lynx from his trap,

she snuffed out the herdsman's fire.

Leaning on cold bark,

Boötes sighed, "Cepheus

Andromeda responded,

"We're not here to cause you harm."

The lynx stood on edge

when another assassin

approached their campfire

saying, "If you wont, I will."

Terra struck him from behind.
