Rhiath dashed forward, followed by Alyck and Kaily to his right, and Theryn and Garrit to his left. The 5 of them moved in an arrow formation, with the Legions swarming in a wide arc ahead of them.
In his mind, Rhiath swore heavily. Once they'd reached the end of the Bridge, they'd spent the night in Thoncir, one last stop before reaching Second Hell. However, this afternoon, just as they were leaving town, Alyck had noticed a scouting party following their trail. They'd scattered, and met up a few miles northwest of town, but he wasn't entirely sure they'd lost the scouts.
So, they ran. Humanform demons experienced a massive upscaling of their physical abilities when they were created, and the Legions were all possessed of magical speed when in their swarm forms. A squad of demons could easily cover miles in a few minutes, and this group was no exception. At this rate, they'd reach the Soulstream in just under an hour, and from there, a short walk south, to the Gateway of Second Hell.
Rhiath couldn't wait. He hated being exposed like this. The Field was almost entirely flat, with clear views for miles in every direction. No cover, no place to hide, or set up an ambush. After literally going through Hell, Rhiath had survived by learning when to hide, and when to run. Right now, he had no choice. And he hated not having a choice.
