My father's fist came at me like a cannon.
I barely raised my arm before the impact sent me flying.
I crashed through an ancient stone wall.
Pain exploded through my shoulder.
"Derek!"
Aria's scream echoed behind me.
I rolled away just as another strike destroyed the ground where my head had been.
I looked up.
My father stood over me.
But those weren't his eyes.
They were completely black.
No silver.
No crimson.
Nothing human.
"Father..."
For the briefest second, something flickered across his face.
Pain.
Then the darkness swallowed it.
"Run, Derek."
My blood froze.
It was his voice.
"Run!"
The creature took control again.
His claws extended.
He lunged.
I shifted.
Indra and I collided with him mid-air.
We hit the ground together.
My claws tore through his armour
