I’ve been in training since I was old enough to walk. I thought I was prepared for anything and everything. But this…there was no preparing for this.
With a thunderous snarl, I s***h my claws through an oncoming eyti, watching its shadowed figure disperse like smoke with a high-pitched shriek.
“We were never meant to stay unified like this indefinitely, Amelia. We can’t keep fighting them back forever. Each one we fight back still reconstitutes a few minutes later leaving us stuck in this vicious cycle,” Zara worries in my mind.
I feel coldness latch onto my arms as I see two eyti take hold of me, their glowing, purple, soulless sockets sending chills through my body. I tense my arms and yank the eytes forward into the earth, slashing at them ferociously as saliva drips from my canines.
