But barely had Zyren succeeded in distancing the massive beast from them when the second one attacked.
Liora's sister.
She struck without hesitation, without warning—her attention fixed squarely on Aira. Not Zyren. Aira.
She saw her immediately as the weakness.
This time, she went all out, almost as if she had been waiting for the exact moment Zyren would lower his guard even slightly.
Long, razor-sharp arrows formed from blood shot through the air, whistling with lethal intent as she lunged forward at the same time. Her body surged unnaturally fast, mouth open, claws extended—aimed directly at Aira's throat.
She's going to kill me.
Zyren moved instantly.
He tore some of his shadows away from the Zygon beasts he had frozen, redirecting them in a violent rush to seize Liora's sister mid-air. The shadows wrapped tightly around her, snapping her back into place and freezing her just long enough.
Long enough for him to turn.
