NovelEnglishJosiah and Estelle plummeted from the sky, crashing into the depths of a dense forest. Thankfully, they were tethered together by a rope! The rope snagged on the treetops, and as they fell, the force and gravity caused the rope to slice through layers of branches, eventually suspending them from the sturdy trunk of a massive oak tree. Dangling like two kids on a swing, they swung dozens of feet above the ground. After what felt like an eternity, their senses slowly returned. Estelle shook her head to clear it, gripped the rope, and with a mighty swing, latched onto the tree trunk. Meanwhile, Josiah used the momentum to securely straddle a thick branch.
They exchanged a look, a shared moment of having cheated death, then untangled themselves from the rope and slid down the tree. Thud, thud—they hit the ground, one after the other. Ignoring his aches, Josiah sprang to his feet and rushed over to Estelle. “Estelle, you okay?” Estelle sat up, her mind now alert though her head throbbed as if it might explode. She took shallow breaths, calming herself, and croaked, “I'm fine!” Remembering the terrifying fall, Josiah was still shaken. “Estelle, | almost had a heart attack just now. Why on earth did you jump from that building?” Estelle frowned, having no memory of her actions. “It’s like | was mind- controlled!” “By who?” Josiah asked. “Raiden!” “The Raiden who rules over Zion?” Estelle nodded. “He never left Zion. The one who left was Winston, impersonating Raiden. | was duped!” Why hadn’t Raiden gone to assist the Triceratops? Weren't those seven cobalt bombs crucial for them? Had Raiden stayed behind to target her, or did he already know her mission and wanted to protect Bernard? Her mind was shrouded in fog, feeling that if she could just clear it, she could uncover the truth. Yet the key to dispelling the fog remained elusive. Josiah seemed to sense something amiss too. “It’s like Raiden’s got a vendetta against you! Did you guys have beef before?” Estelle took a deep breath. “Let’s not worry about that now. Raiden will soon send troops to hunt us down. Amiee can’t fight or shoot; she’s in danger. We need to find her, now!” Her concern for Amiee’s safety outweighed any thoughts of Raiden. Had Amiee managed to parachute out before the plane crashed? Josiah was anxious too. “Are you sure you're up for this? | could get you out of the forest first.” Estelle scoffed. “Getting out of this forest would take hours. We need to find Amiee first!” Worry for Amiee was evident in Josiah’s voice as well. “Alright!” Visit Dramasto read full content. (Image) Visit Dramasto read full content.
