Greyson's words barely registered in Audrey's mind. All she could think of was the flame and what it could mean.
She squinted her eyes, staring at the flame, and that was when she saw a familiar posture. She had seen a lot of injured people in this state.
It looked like a man who was injured. It felt like he was staggering as he moved closer to them.
Greyson was already alert. His sword was ready to attack, but before he could make a move, Audrey stopped him.
"Don't. I think he's an injured person."
She stepped forward, trying to protect the man. The soldier also stepped with her, right behind her as if he were her personal bodyguard.
The man finally stopped in front of them, collapsing on the floor as his flame went out.
He was dressed shabbily. His clothes were torn from head to toe, and his body was bruised as if he had been attacked by a monster.
Immediately, she knelt beside him.
"What happened to you?"
The man could barely speak as he kept pointing towards the north.
