Damien and his cohort entered the town when the earth rumbled beneath them. Damien could feel Dane and the other close by. He did not touch the Light himself. It was a gift for Dane alone.
Shouts and shots still rang in the night but the most fierce fighting had since died down. It was now a fight for survival. He received word that Ramirez had rounded up the dregs that remained to defend the main compound. A coward's desperate attempt to extend his life another pitiful hour.
Damien frowned and stopped by the wall of a burning house. His guard fanned out to secure the area despite it already being declared secure by the forward squads. The enemy was now mostly pinned down in pockets of resistance.
"Is there a problem, sir?"
one of the young guard asked. The boy's voice wavered as he spoke.
"No,"
Damien stood tall amidst the embers of battle. The boy was in the safest place in town. But what was Dane doing? Drawing the other into a trap? "Let's continue."
Damien pointed in the direction the Light turned. A few of his guard wore puzzled expressions but they complied without a word.
