The question hung in the air like a blade.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwsZ4HBOCB
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxUYhiVXyg
Cel's breath stopped.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfd7Ji2llz
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HvhunStM9
His mind went blank - then exploded.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWEEDBDEey
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUMEXWq7H1
She knew. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOzfZBY8bF
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiGxyg1vBl
Silent Moon materialized in his grip before conscious thought caught up. Four phases ignited along the blade as his body moved on pure instinct, cutting toward her throat in a strike meant to kill. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq4KJ45bs4
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0uD6CqkCk
Hestia's weapon appeared instantly, intercepting his attack with a sharp ring of steel. Her eyes went wide - not with fear, but shock.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtp3ILXd1
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMMArG5zvH
Then they hardened.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH64fMRopH6
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDHewaLjV
Her longsword redirected his blade with brutal efficiency. She spun away, creating distance, settling into a combat stance.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrvMlv4cVA
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfBeuB4qdN
Cel pressed forward, each strike powered by the full weight of his divinely enhanced strength. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9GqoUuYVz
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3vTWwYjtH
The impact of their blades meeting sent shockwaves through the training ground. Hestia's arms trembled from the force, her boots skidding backward across packed earth.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwrFwRgLCo
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GkayAbrL
She'd never felt this from him before. The true weight behind his attacks.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVCt8xNdJ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHOKXTnOEJ
Her crimson eyes blazed with focus as she adjusted her stance, blade rising to meet his next strike.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9L3T0RiFH
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawWb3Xq15b
He came at her like a beast - wild, uncontrolled, full of openings any skilled fighter could exploit.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAwI8iOFEi
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KnFLGDSFH
But the sheer power behind each blow made exploitation impossible.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2TLBmYD5H
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02tkvxuHGI
Hestia deflected a horizontal slash and pivoted, attempting to circle into his blind spot. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd20d7AEHw
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKr8f91LtJ
Cel turned with her instantly. Silent Moon traced patterns meant to overwhelm through pure aggression, each strike flowing into the next without losing pace.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtByDzK0yGr
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFpKynT7ls
Hestia's superior technique kept her alive. She redirected rather than blocked, deflected rather than met his strikes head-on. Her footwork carried her through angles that should have been impossible, blade weaving defensive patterns that turned aside attacks meant to break bone.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJexo7sen2F
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcGSZFsaBr
Still, she was losing ground.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwZuroS1xI
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEO6j5X1Wy
Each deflection cost her. Each redirection pushed her closer to the edge of her capabilities. Against anyone else, her skill would have been enough.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT6SHNj34R
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClBXYvyJGB
But against this - against the full weight of a divinely forged body with nothing held back - it wasn't.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fFwBft4HA
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFCZF1DaP4
A wild overhead strike came down with enough force to split stone. She caught it on her crossguard and the impact drove her to one knee.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy5ud23VYC
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMJF5AAHLh
Cel's boot lashed out, catching her in the ribs.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6UoEkA0lV
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKFPj2bjRT
The kick sent her sprawling. She crashed into the dirt, gasping, vision blurring.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUXbHPaVxd
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFqmC11FYp
Silent Moon descended in an arc.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ahn8LoXU
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTg9quupOs
Hestia's longsword met it at an angle, barely redirecting the blow past her shoulder. The edge sliced through strands of black hair - several locks drifted to the ground, severed clean. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl5PnKVB2C
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG438SRfp3R
She spun inside his guard, blade rising toward his exposed side—26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDdnXcl6o5
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iJQZR16ws
His hand shot out.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbADQP7rON
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAdZivsQCa
Fingers closed on her wrist, already blooming with frost. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mBTHS4L5
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeiRIL06r7
The world shattered.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx7zpgwklZ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6NVGNxne
A boy lay broken on ash-covered ground.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vKlKmf3TN
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuoTxgzvhl
Brown hair matted with blood and gray dust. His torso torn open - massive gouges where claws had ripped through flesh and bone. One arm bent at an impossible angle. His face turned skyward, eyes glazed and unseeing.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YASMVLzT0
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaEI5TXLby
Blood pooled beneath him in dark streams, soaking into the ash. His chest rose and fell in shallow, desperate gasps that accomplished nothing. Each breath bubbled wet through punctured lungs.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7aIQ2Dkfb
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgKk81GjTM
The boy's lips moved soundlessly, forming words no one would hear. His fingers twitched once against the ground, grasping for something that wasn't there. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHB8kCpZ8C
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwPnciSZ9K
Then went still. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1CwNTybFd
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3rNtCl9m2
Death came quietly in that desolate place. Without ceremony. Without witness. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiqYXfNkhp
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hY7LzgN8i
Just a broken body bleeding into ash. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV7523qbFa
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfhYWoyZAZ
The vision released them.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTeOhMoOxE
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNWBDC2xt7
Cel staggered backward, hand falling away from Hestia's wrist. His breathing came harsh and rapid, mind reeling from what he'd just witnessed.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNBhI9dExJ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkrdozqSpf
‘That… was me.’26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ1FWOxkH1
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY4pfAEkz8
His death in the Ashlands. The moment after the creature had torn him apart. Before the trial. Before resurrection.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dmH7gH9bD
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78eOlRrAl3
But how—why—26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkQGE2xBdm
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sWolF8zc1
Hestia stood motionless, eyes wide and uncomprehending. Her blade trembled in her grip. She stared at Cel like she'd never seen him before.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXROG4oLrW2
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn9pr3cpt8
Then her expression shifted.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLQ8eg313o
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywaFj7zA4c
Horror gave way to something colder. Harder.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZKqOw3tjV
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJjDx0HrlP
Her longsword came up, the crimson blade catching moonlight.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpCDWEHEZG
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0aYxfn72a
"Vile Demon."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pLOVjueBO
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoFnn7Ls1C
The word fell between them like a stone.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9firDPZk
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x8qvpox8q
Cel's grip tightened on Silent Moon. His mind still churned with confusion.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLBZeOnoZ7
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYOdHzqt4q
But it didn't matter.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCBOacHOeY
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA2cqOSKeY
She knew something. Had seen something.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH0WZ3D8yh
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jXWUkLch
And she had to die for it.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ6YR91AHQ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbC1dCxYoA
He moved.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDk8yxS1lW
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QpGOxg9oP
Hestia met him without hesitation.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAvQ8i2Rn2
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMff6WGwTYo
Her blade moved with lethal precision, each movement flowing seamlessly into the next.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsxzbJRsBZ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAjGQ84dP9
Cel barely managed to raise Silent Moon in time.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNY5xAlU0y
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76CqxX7QdS
Her blade came in low, then high, then from an angle that should have been impossible. A three-strike combination executed in rapid succession. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRyaHvntrG
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhLekJukw9
Cel deflected the first two through pure instinct. The third slipped past his guard and opened a line across his shoulder.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbmEvNGN21
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHv9I8D7Fk
Blood welled up, dark against his skin.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjWYB6QgTh
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGwjjcg1zs
Hestia pressed forward with renewed aggression, certainty burning cold in her eyes.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu2790PIRy
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7TLT5D1dU
Cel's blade caught hers in a bind, forcing them face to face for a heartbeat.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ssa8yuXZb
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy6efG1Ro0
Then she broke free with a twist that nearly tore Silent Moon from his grip. Her follow-up strike came for his throat—26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw4zbpolDr
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3x1cTSTzA
Cel threw himself sideways, the blade missing by inches.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKez34YshQa
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO59fecj8GQ
They circled each other now, both breathing hard. Blood dripped from Cel's shoulder. Black hair clung to Hestia's neck where his blade had cut it short. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGhhlsYULL
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HmJhi4oeq
Neither spoke.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0BTmfJ1Sh
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6mvZO4UCI
Just two people trying to kill each other beneath the indifferent moon.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M0ubfLEh0
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1pjshm3V
Cel moved first this time.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5euZex60m
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9NDhNRkmX
Raw strength met perfect technique in a clash that sent tremors through the training ground.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69om7b9BSZ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80boJ5jRbC
Hestia's blade wove patterns meant exploit openings. Cel's strikes tried to overwhelm through sheer force.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogbO57Wijf
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kgeRdchNX
The gap between them had closed. Not in skill or strength - that remained as vast as ever - but in intent. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx2U8SC8Rw
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaRM1lWpUn
Cel feinted left, then thrusted Silent Moon toward her heart with everything he had. The strike was meant to punch through ribs, to pierce lung and ventricle.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFgj8kvT8V
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbPCqp9gvn
Hestia read the feint. Her longsword came up not to deflect but to counter - blade aimed at the exposed flesh of his neck. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBWp0FKppI
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4BJ4S5YTl
Silent Moon's edge found fabric at her chest. Her crimson blade touched skin at his throat.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpbkfPCuQT
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3zqz0k1U
Lightning struck between them.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir7uxm0QJS
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfoRayiLeO
The bolt hit the ground with deafening thunder, pure white light searing across Cel's vision. The shockwave threw both of them backward like dolls.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN8p6L3Qya
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIvAgQMPN2
Cel hit the earth hard enough to crater it. His bones rattled. His ears rang. Silent Moon skittered away across packed dirt.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxEtx3AwRr
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1c3vB7woK
Through blurred vision, he saw Hestia sprawled several steps away, her weapon fallen from nerveless fingers.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumjn50LjbO
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9VZup0HPc
A figure stood in the smoking crater where the lightning had struck.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaHzqfS6CF
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD2Ot9BuF1
Esrin.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s0xSgPvs7
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gb00eCcNL
Her ash-white hair stirred in wind that came from nowhere. Ruby eyes blazed with cold fury. Her glaive's blade drove into the earth between them, the weapon's length crackling with residual energy.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXH6kZYjNY
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpoVsBBcjc
"What do you think you're doing?" Esrin's voice cut through the ringing in Cel's ears like a blade. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZWvZ6yZcx
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdbAwvBIBF
Neither of them answered immediately. Cel pushed himself to his feet, ribs protesting. Hestia rose more slowly, her crimson eyes never leaving Esrin's face. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJIl2geRIl
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E242PZJmI
"Lady Esrin." Hestia's voice came formal, controlled despite the violence moments before. "Forgive the disturbance. I discovered something during our sparring - this student is not what he appears. He's a demon." 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOru67sZMn
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQGNvSTZ9G
The certainty in her tone left no room for doubt. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Up52ydfQ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RgIfhr5Qq
Esrin's expression didn't shift. "You're wrong."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqKBvEGBoQ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWmCZ9vYFZ
Hestia's composure cracked slightly.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXU9MrQLGb
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOnE9HnWoL
"I can assure you - he is human."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpt5CbLeho
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosmAjTCooP
"Lady Esrin, I assure you, my trait—" Hestia began, urgency creeping into her measured tone.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lSNoQz9vu
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fzlehu192
"I don't care what your trait showed you." Esrin's voice carried absolute authority. "What I care about is that you just attempted to kill a fellow student based on an assumption."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9p3p9Ogsm
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOjGIAa73D
Hestia went very still.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr2or5oO7M
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSLbXTaWYQ
"Return to your dormitory," Esrin continued. "And reflect on what you did."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkRPnlJuLy
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAbkdi6ffF
For a long moment, Hestia didn't move. Her crimson eyes remained fixed on Cel, searching for something - truth, deception, confirmation of her fears. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jOkt6mFY
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgkpQ924uk
Then she dismissed her artifact into darkness and gave Esrin a deep, formal bow. "As you command, Lady Esrin." 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJliNQ2PY9u
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsOrdyrtmx
Without another word, she turned and walked away, her steps steady despite the violence that had just occurred. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoENH8bJy
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcYvGcAtWq
Cel watched her go, chest tight with emotions he couldn't name. Relief. Confusion. Residual fear.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcuKGM3gGI
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJWhfrlf5
When she disappeared around a corner, Esrin's attention shifted to him fully.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmeSX2UJkC
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPsXJIMtzK
The weight of her gaze made him want to step backward.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdzSptzKSd
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvMa0CBpBm
"As for you…"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7VzqkGBfq
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxBfWPVsGF
Cel's throat worked. "I—"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3onIcnodSx
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMVHRnCW4R
"Your task was to observe. To protect the other students if necessary." Her ruby eyes narrowed. "Not to fight them."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpy6NBwCts
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GukGIzynh
"It just happened," Cel said. The excuse sounded weak even to his own ears. "I didn't mean—"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLxTvE0iJ1
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hj6mIbZeX
"You didn't mean to attack her with lethal intent?" Esrin's tone could have frozen water. "Because that's what I witnessed."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUN4H7cOvW
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFlLgJbScM
Cel's hands curled into fists at his sides. He forced them to relax.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKll9ZSEmMu
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGE6qu4HnR
"I'm sorry." The words came quiet. Genuine. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNMPKa8dGs
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIGPuTIv7T
"We voted to recruit you. That doesn't mean you're immune to consequences." Her voice dropped, carrying absolute certainty. "Step out of line again, and we won't bother voting. Are we clear?" 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ46aIJgwv
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOjIvk8WLm
Cel's breath caught. "Yes." 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6QC8mSNPn
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyZYbzZbBv
Esrin studied him for a long moment, expression unreadable.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIppGD3SRR
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIxVV8VHY
Then she sighed - a sound so subtle he almost missed it. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1pDRAPB4e
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZg0dVBsbD
Cel’s gaze drifted toward where Hestia had disappeared.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi5QMeaDJz
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ146X0nwFdF
"What did she mean?" he asked. "About demons. What are they?" 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXxJXr8Wva
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9EAEeG8rQ
Esrin opened her mouth to answer— 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OkFcpEf3M
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsviB643xjh
Then her head snapped sideways. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fq4aLrWf1
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIYvg1DWwv
The movement was so sudden, so complete, that Cel's breath caught. Every line of her body had gone tense, focused on something he couldn't perceive.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqLk3Yt74J
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwbswhl05x
"What—"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QVIQJpD7O
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkF38t23o0
A bell tolled.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrGqhT8cDz
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmxrFFkUto
Deep. Resonant. The sound rolled across the Academy grounds from somewhere in the city.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsqKMIPk0l
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYUxpfCbmc
Once. Twice. Three times.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h1qhAIMYq
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUM6GMQSaz
Cel's brow furrowed. "What is that?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OnZgdpTaX
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4AsGxlVo
"A good opportunity." White wings erupted from her back in an explosion of light and feathers. Her hand closed on the back of his collar. "You're coming with me."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJz74SVkbx
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT86fvuE6na
"What opportun—" 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRRNrqUkY3
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4M5nMj0EO
Then the world lurched.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIL6y93DeQ
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7N95Hh2K
Wind screamed past his ears. The training ground was gone - replaced by open sky stretching in every direction. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB94mJQhMA
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjuIMQAkK
Esrin held him like a cat - one hand gripping his collar, his entire body dangling uselessly in her grasp.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv6mteFMXy
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdcBMAHWY7
Terror flooded through him in cold waves.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLFXEMw24Y
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidXE52C0r2
'Too high too high too high—'26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzmU0aZI0I
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkJW6G6yD1
His hands scrabbled for purchase against her arm, finding nothing. Below, the Academy had already shrunk to toy-size. The capital sprawled out in every direction, lights twinkling like distant stars.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8FylBRJQf
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDd1iW1zz4
Esrin ignored him completely. Her ruby eyes scanned the landscape ahead with clinical precision, tracking something he couldn't see.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2YRXAySFD
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SaskH1GyE
"There."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUxT2Ujo1c
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabCsG1YOHE
She banked sharply. Cel's body swung out from the momentum, gravity trying its best to claim him. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEyWNh120
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvIueDIGMc
He was going to die. Going to fall. Going to— 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB7xN51zyU
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq8UM1R07W
Impact. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKbIjNuPMi
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Gepj7LCk
Cel hit the ground, legs giving out immediately. He sprawled face-first across dirt, chest heaving, heart trying to hammer its way through his ribs. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkdHxoYB7x
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFD2HGkNYV
Solid ground. Beautiful, wonderful, stable ground. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT7VIdzCNo
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8KS28avo
Slowly - so slowly - his breathing steadied. His vision stopped swimming. He pushed himself upright on shaking arms. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnby39biYr
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2CloMkDmL
And froze. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qY69d2ZNx
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLpCXLpUie
Reality had split open ahead of him - a wound hanging in the air above empty ground. 26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVQQDID6tF
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPmFMSYA3q
A rift.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD7PLupN1u
