After struggling for a while, the lizard warrior's strength waned, his eyes beginning to widen with the onset of death. Soon, he was motionless. Exhausted, I collapsed into a corner, gasping for air. Although the fight seemed long, it really happened in seconds. I made countless life-and-death decisions in no time, leaving me mentally and physically drained.
I knew I couldn't rest yet. After catching my breath briefly, I jumped up and dashed into a dim alley. The commotion from fighting the three lizard warriors might have attracted attention, especially with many patrolling warriors around.
I headed for a secluded spot while staying alert. The chains still bound me, and I needed to get rid of them. Not only were they hindering my movements, but they also drew unwanted attention. Fortuna
