"Etienne! Stop it—"
"At least one of us needs to be in shape!" Etienne countered, cutting off Terrius's words.
He ignored the Vice Captain and continued his job; a few beads of sweat began breaking out on his forehead. His breathing became slightly rougher and harder, but he still stood firm.
Once Terrius's injuries were treated, Etienne's hands fell limp on his sides, and his vision began doubling and going blurry.
Dark spots had begun appearing in his flawless, pale skin. Despite this, he tried to walk away, not wanting to cause more worry to the Vice Captain, but his legs felt like jelly. His body staggered and almost fell if Terrius hadn't caught his arm.
"Etienne!"
Terrius quickly scooped Etienne into his arms and ran in the direction of the vortex. He had one goal in mind: to find Jade as soon as possible!
