Elora's eyes narrowed uncomfortably at Deremiah. She sat straight, head upright in a manner that showed her earnestness. "Our goals may align at the moment but that doesn't mean that I've become some property that you've laid claim to."
Deremiah's face was expressionless. "I wouldn't have to do that if you just stop putting your life in danger constantly for other people."
Her eyes shivered as she gazed at him. "It's my life to risk."
Feeling even more frustrated, Deremiah looked away and grunted. 'This is exactly the reason why she sacrificed her life for Zenith. How could I have made a character so strong and yet so annoying?'
He shot his head up at her. "We will talk about this later, but I have a plan on how we can kill the Goliath Mammoth."
Elora's eyes shifted from his face to the Stone Sentinel still approaching from the gates. "And the Sentinel?"
Deremiah turned back. "He's going to help us do it."
