The sounds of horses thundering against the dusty path rent the air. Anthony was riding fast along a forest track, two horses followed behind him. Xinglan carried Miao Miao on hers, while Tong Tong drove alone. Her red eyes were filled with determination and there was none of her initial timidity in her eyes as she urged her horse to gallop faster.
Anthony's ears picked up some movements from the nearby forests making him slow down and turn to look at the girls. He smirked and signalled them to go faster. Xinglan unsheathed her sword, her hair flying behind her, her boots on the stirrups were slightly dusty, and her left hand tightened on Miao Miao's waist.
Her eyes were filled with rage, the traitors kept pursuing them from such a long distance, even after burning the entire village and forcing them to run.
Anthony drew his horse to a stop, letting the girls overtake him.
"Alright, you can come out now. I know you guys are here for me."
