Down came the gavel of law, crashing through the ceiling of gold onto the bodies of the invaders. Raven and Helga flinched for a moment, for Hamleth was still standing before them with his hand trying to crush Athenia. Recomposing themselves in a matter of a second, however, they leapt out of the gavel's trajectory, though the weapon never crashed against the ground.
From the shadows of the gavel, a shadow dragon appeared. Biting the gavel's flat end, the creature slowly crawled out of the shadows and shook the gavel like a dog does with a squeaky toy. It thrashed it against the walls, screeching and destroying the inside of the castle with its wide, spanning wings.
"Good boy, Shadow! But you gotta stop playing with it now!" Mono ordered, snapping her fingers at her pet shadow dragon.
