Chapter 539 - Trinity – Watching Reece Battle (VOLUME 3)
~~
Trinity
~~
I was heading back from the clearing, away from the battle, all while the other wave was making their way onto the battlefield. On my way back I saw that Reece was watching me closely.
"Hey there, Big Bad Wolf, you know you"ve got to get out there and do your thing so we can catch the granny, right?" I grinned at him as I spoke.
I wasn"t exactly in a good mood or happy about anything. It was just the adrenaline from the fight, the rush of it all. That adrenaline was making my body go through a natural high which inevitably led to me being more giddy than I usually would be in a situation like this.
"As long as this Big Bad Wolf doesn"t need to eat that granny, then I"m all for it." Reece played along with me before pulling me into his arms.
Reece may have joked back with me, but I could feel the tension in his body. I could already guess what was coming next.
"I was so worried about you, Little Bunny. Watching you fight made my heart stop about a thousand times." He wasn"t lying either. I could literally feel his heart pounding right now. He had most likely been dying over here and had probably wanted to come to protect me so many times.
"Then you shouldn"t have watched the battle. You were supposed to be resting up for your fight." I only half heartedly scolded him. I knew he wouldn"t rest while I was in danger.
"Did you really think that I would not watch it?" He almost sounded wounded for a moment, like I had hurt his man pride.
"No. I knew you would. Just like I am going to watch you fight again. Now, get out there and show me what a s.e.xy warrior King you are." I stretched up onto my tip toes and kissed him quickly while he wrapped his arms around my waist for a small hug.
"I love you." He whispered the words right into my ear before he let me go.
"I love you too."
With both the welcome back and farewell taken care of, I continued to the safety of the resting zone. Thankfully, we had been able to keep the Fae and the monsters away from the safe zone so there was always somewhere for the wounded warriors to recover.
I knew that I needed to rest, relax a little and recover my strength and energy while the next wave of the battle commenced. I knew that I needed to do that, but I wasn"t going to.
I was already cleaned up so, now, I just needed to find somewhere to watch the battle from. There was a small hill that was beside the medical tents. That would give me a slightly higher vantage point without having to use magic to get there.
While I was standing there, watching the battlefield and looking for Reece, Vincent came up behind me.
"I know that you are going to watch him fight, Trinity, but please at least sit down and rest while doing so." That was when he set a chair behind me and tried to urge me into it. I didn"t fight him at all, I let him guide me into the seat.
"Here, Trinity, have something to eat." Shawn was handing me a bowl and a slice of bread.
This meal had been specifically chosen for the battle. It was a stew, filled with various vegetables, some beef, and lots of herbs, of course. The herbs that had been chosen for this meal helped to rapidly replenish strength and stamina. It was the perfect meal to have while waiting to battle again.
"Thank you." I took the bowl and smiled at Shawn, but since I didn"t take my eyes off of the field below, I didn"t know if he had seen it or not.
"We will sit with you, Trinity." David said as he sat two chairs down to the right of me.
"Yeah, this is the perfect place to watch the battle from." Shane sat down two more chairs on my left.
"Thank you, guys." This time I did look at them and smile.
The five of us sat there and watched the battlefield. I knew that Shawn was watching Dietrich with his worried filled eyes. He had quickly sought him out like I did with Reece. I could understand exactly what it was that Shawn was feeling right now.
As I watched the war rage on, I saw Reece using his sword that was made of fire instead of the one that Sterling and Alloy had given him. I also saw that he was using that glowing red whip of fire that was one of his special abilities. He flicked that whip around so skillfully that it was clear that he had never let his training completely slip away from his life. He may be busy but anyone who looked at Reece could tell that he trained on a regular basis.
There were also these tiny little red streaks that kept zooming by his head and it wasn"t until I focused my eyes and zoomed in on the battlefield that I realized that it was arrows made of fire. He was literally wielding three weapons at once. He was more skilled as a fighter than almost anyone out there and he was showing them exactly why he was worthy to be their King.
Reece was simply amazing to watch. Even with the carnage that was all around him he himself was a work of art as he masterfully moved that sword, flung that whip, and controlled those arrows. No one who saw him would ever doubt his abilities. And I for one was in awe of him as I watched on.
Every time that Reece sliced away at or cut down an enemy I felt a sense of pride swelling inside of me. And whenever there was an enemy closing in on him I felt my anxiety flare.. It was nerve wracking and I knew now what he had been feeling.
