Auras, traps, a small army. Bah, this battle was lost before it even began! He should have pursued echo when she was weakened earlier; for now the heroes were at disadvantage.
And at the time, Thunderpaw knew he was the bigger target. Even as the demon in the room's center cast to strike down those he swore to protect, he hesitated. Jumping straight into the heart of battle was in his nature. It was so much easier when his death would mean nothing. But if he fell, so would the world. He could not afford to be so selfish. If he had fallen earlier, at the hydra, what would the world had done then? What will it do now?
As Echo charged for her magnum opus, Thunderpaw took a few steps back.
And then he turned to run. He ran faster than he had ever run before; straight for the entrance. Straight for where his horse was waiting in case of a need to escape. He ran, and left tears in his wake.
He had failed.
