Exploring Cloverwood forest alone might not have been Ali’s greatest idea, especially seeing as he was still adjusting to his new life in the realm of Astrails. However, there was not much purpose to his day. No training for the soldiers, no meetings with his father, the day was all his to do whatever he pleased. Astrails was beautiful, Ali could not deny that. He was lost within the beautiful greenery, the small creatures (although he was warned that dragons could appear along with other dangers), everything seemed peaceful for a few moments before he heard the scream for help.
“Fuck.” he muttered. There was no time to think, everything happened quicker than Ali could have imagined. Flying to where the sound came from instantly, it was all a blur after that. Ali was strong, his warrior genes kicking in and it all went by quicker than he thought. One moment the woman was cornered by a human, most likely a member of the resistance and the next even though he had injured the mortal man he had managed to escape.
“Are you alright?” Ali asked, breathless as he pushed his hair back. “Are you hurt? Shall I take you to a healer? Did they do anything to you?” The questions came back to back before Ali paused to breathe. This was unlike his normal calm nature, then again, rescuing a damsel in distress was not usually part of his daily routine.
