The question hung in the air like a blade.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTK1quQYyE
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBAmgiqsNp
Cel's breath stopped.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6qLcA6uHC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwf1hNExXg
His mind went blank - then exploded.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsaK6D8LKZ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvX61BUn5L
She knew. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJVV4yp85
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgPpaTFCeN
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. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuWD2pMaE0
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MXFeLi1P
Hestia's weapon appeared instantly, intercepting his attack with a sharp ring of steel. Her eyes went wide - not with fear, but shock.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpucnxuQo6
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HpySJ66dl
Then they hardened.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dIBVrZ5P9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YGmGDXwSu
Her longsword redirected his blade with brutal efficiency. She spun away, creating distance, settling into a combat stance.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbMnVAKqqx
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbofp59CeQs
Cel pressed forward, each strike powered by the full weight of his divinely enhanced strength. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA319nvB8G6
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfpdhuzflc
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GRPTTQtYD
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP6lKo8k1X
She'd never felt this from him before. The true weight behind his attacks.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVCsDGxMqn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrqUeUdWA
Her crimson eyes blazed with focus as she adjusted her stance, blade rising to meet his next strike.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bq2bgkleL
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOxtsDlNiu
He came at her like a beast - wild, uncontrolled, full of openings any skilled fighter could exploit.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R3lYPA1FN
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLmYEdx29o
But the sheer power behind each blow made exploitation impossible.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OA88UAcUU
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HdwpSU5Ax
Hestia deflected a horizontal slash and pivoted, attempting to circle into his blind spot. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfXD5bBVP8
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnvj3tFuRK
Cel turned with her instantly. Silent Moon traced patterns meant to overwhelm through pure aggression, each strike flowing into the next without losing pace.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhOvtV3lq9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRo1jmtyWG
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WSFKGH1rj
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tRtoS8pac
Still, she was losing ground.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepGGya6GJK
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxGO5BvR6P
Each deflection cost her. Each redirection pushed her closer to the edge of her capabilities. Against anyone else, her skill would have been enough.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bUCNgz3V
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s55scJVbF
But against this - against the full weight of a divinely forged body with nothing held back - it wasn't.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5xA3o6DTu
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tcifNVn0B
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG7s3W8Sx1
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJH6pLDtKE
Cel's boot lashed out, catching her in the ribs.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCV1rK8Xm9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWgNDEvdAX
The kick sent her sprawling. She crashed into the dirt, gasping, vision blurring.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzAjy6aOCc
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZTPhMErar
Silent Moon descended in an arc.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnGEg7EX0o
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGps6EyJIW
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. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JDLzQgLMw
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtVdYMMKNc
She spun inside his guard, blade rising toward his exposed side—81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqhqPQyfOC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN2YYBX8Ur
His hand shot out.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlljZcmM6Z
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rDQWi9tg
Fingers closed on her wrist, already blooming with frost. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vVQPSH5l
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK7CcToson
The world shattered.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPtPhdqej9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseBxGmm94U
A boy lay broken on ash-covered ground.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWAAX7wohL
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuVNZDmh1b
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfLYyLkvFp
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PA5umi6Fm
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeK5A2vcbe
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpbJMScLso
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. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Gwr4jk58
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc7EnSdyL1
Then went still. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKOyZBR0HN
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xkn2Bh8rR
Death came quietly in that desolate place. Without ceremony. Without witness. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ExKPqr0Q
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwpSoS106h
Just a broken body bleeding into ash. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkl2kldz6S
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0bBXqTJsU
The vision released them.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTG7hlRJc6
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9pb0iuO4Q
Cel staggered backward, hand falling away from Hestia's wrist. His breathing came harsh and rapid, mind reeling from what he'd just witnessed.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt68z9DADs
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBiEyhXMsk
‘That… was me.’81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSex7phVBcx
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9GWfZGWfI
His death in the Ashlands. The moment after the creature had torn him apart. Before the trial. Before resurrection.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsCA9awh4V
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAcWckL16w
But how—why—81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU7olDPcE9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOyPQDMfyC
Hestia stood motionless, eyes wide and uncomprehending. Her blade trembled in her grip. She stared at Cel like she'd never seen him before.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTHKbHqh5H
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvi9MiCPG4
Then her expression shifted.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOm8CpJOOT
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ74S3yeec
Horror gave way to something colder. Harder.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7gVslQPr
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2JvKGFLgm
Her longsword came up, the crimson blade catching moonlight.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP2RAqGXym
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM7QvE1mD9
"Vile Demon."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvdzxzHFB6
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjdExEcu9H
The word fell between them like a stone.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNInJ55XZru
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOQg3NUIDL
Cel's grip tightened on Silent Moon. His mind still churned with confusion.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGyg0uhmHV
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqZE4Pzzlm
But it didn't matter.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfmRihagTd
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUr4ykbef9
She knew something. Had seen something.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC406Xw2Jna
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCySVwVLAf
And she had to die for it.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkakv0kQt1E
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Byh4Kv6gl
He moved.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOcY5oyNHu
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTH0ABVjaS
Hestia met him without hesitation.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlTuchDL0b
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbzi6xrqFt
Her blade moved with lethal precision, each movement flowing seamlessly into the next.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P0VEkvcRu
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk5GJG4YHu
Cel barely managed to raise Silent Moon in time.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqiZjwYwXF
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepombJbDn
Her blade came in low, then high, then from an angle that should have been impossible. A three-strike combination executed in rapid succession. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwiwY68a1
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2WK4CmTII
Cel deflected the first two through pure instinct. The third slipped past his guard and opened a line across his shoulder.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCAnX1JozC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohVT292RLr
Blood welled up, dark against his skin.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBQ1HErvYn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqb6Vr2osX
Hestia pressed forward with renewed aggression, certainty burning cold in her eyes.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3nSUyb1hs
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshCNj65dok
Cel's blade caught hers in a bind, forcing them face to face for a heartbeat.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSsxRfyFq8
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRFk9AC79Z
Then she broke free with a twist that nearly tore Silent Moon from his grip. Her follow-up strike came for his throat—81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnfv7tFrcb
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyPhPN6qRq
Cel threw himself sideways, the blade missing by inches.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8FIs7BhbR
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzW4meY3df
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. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS5fCWBA7t
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xhGQOXvkG
Neither spoke.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4Hx5bDjc
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0KunN8CIp
Just two people trying to kill each other beneath the indifferent moon.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoo37pWXhZ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp3yiliX5i
Cel moved first this time.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNMK6cc5O0
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Bbizp7gE
Raw strength met perfect technique in a clash that sent tremors through the training ground.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnqDT7T7xA
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYKmZcOJA0
Hestia's blade wove patterns meant exploit openings. Cel's strikes tried to overwhelm through sheer force.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaxw3wVSF2
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4whq22IcVR
The gap between them had closed. Not in skill or strength - that remained as vast as ever - but in intent. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF9O5Yq92G
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcof4U1COPw
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLKQTDtn7P
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCyrv2fB6J
Hestia read the feint. Her longsword came up not to deflect but to counter - blade aimed at the exposed flesh of his neck. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoD9PLupaP
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFP1Sy5DD
Silent Moon's edge found fabric at her chest. Her crimson blade touched skin at his throat.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbLPeqkqX
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxumuMEwPF
Lightning struck between them.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0vvdTI8GH
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT36W2h0U0o
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6iukg8aLY
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0l6ElwwDY
Cel hit the earth hard enough to crater it. His bones rattled. His ears rang. Silent Moon skittered away across packed dirt.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfkPVL7z6M
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMBrgXYz80
Through blurred vision, he saw Hestia sprawled several steps away, her weapon fallen from nerveless fingers.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ9WovGvcg
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZI1OdYokk
A figure stood in the smoking crater where the lightning had struck.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALca8494RQ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPVdmlAF8N
Esrin.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJmopiQ7UN
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplNYgFQHX6
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrPL97dfM7
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65cSLHcCw3
"What do you think you're doing?" Esrin's voice cut through the ringing in Cel's ears like a blade. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoBnsjaP0t
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9aMU7Mr39
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. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp8t4nA7UA
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvitLXvz7X
"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." 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZdw47u8Rc
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLHRHHxRtk
The certainty in her tone left no room for doubt. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtxacR88A2
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yx3PkfBve
Esrin's expression didn't shift. "You're wrong."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEGmt6eIHr
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOLdmF6PzK
Hestia's composure cracked slightly.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QjebNMOrm
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU19IvqHCrJ
"I can assure you - he is human."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5RUB8LCTa
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbe3DHfrik
"Lady Esrin, I assure you, my trait—" Hestia began, urgency creeping into her measured tone.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfTSRkNOn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkV92XbTJ
"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."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ek2E996p
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu4G1MTTt8
Hestia went very still.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmd0jVcEgd
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuBB8DepUa
"Return to your dormitory," Esrin continued. "And reflect on what you did."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3UthVBOeW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF1MQYiH6d
For a long moment, Hestia didn't move. Her crimson eyes remained fixed on Cel, searching for something - truth, deception, confirmation of her fears. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWPQ6jlVh
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jUBfdvbsO
Then she dismissed her artifact into darkness and gave Esrin a deep, formal bow. "As you command, Lady Esrin." 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXK1KwGl22
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EHVYjhbZw
Without another word, she turned and walked away, her steps steady despite the violence that had just occurred. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Z7VkU0R4
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82dmhvTfBa
Cel watched her go, chest tight with emotions he couldn't name. Relief. Confusion. Residual fear.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCs5srDznL
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AoFSVgYNu
When she disappeared around a corner, Esrin's attention shifted to him fully.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTT0rfnIc
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVyhT3OmE0
The weight of her gaze made him want to step backward.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSylO7uozxd
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQjSxGpPlg
"As for you…"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz2GdLFkCb
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrXizqZjEr
Cel's throat worked. "I—"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiboLhLn4D
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb24NKzGYGy
"Your task was to observe. To protect the other students if necessary." Her ruby eyes narrowed. "Not to fight them."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMunZg7XGW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKwh2N0Krf
"It just happened," Cel said. The excuse sounded weak even to his own ears. "I didn't mean—"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxZ0hLOrmF
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA9XMVCnsk
"You didn't mean to attack her with lethal intent?" Esrin's tone could have frozen water. "Because that's what I witnessed."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb5ydpzwoy
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuofs6gLPX
Cel's hands curled into fists at his sides. He forced them to relax.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmUMhQEGy4
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy863a1OiiO
"I'm sorry." The words came quiet. Genuine. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDUHSO1ctd
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshjjp4pfVc
"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?" 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2MW5I7l7K
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUTMH0c7WC
Cel's breath caught. "Yes." 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiFoWtfsdQ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDpyPy5Mx
Esrin studied him for a long moment, expression unreadable.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXPGuscGSp
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dLSp6GJFl
Then she sighed - a sound so subtle he almost missed it. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaibCTJGtO
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ELC3FvjS
Cel’s gaze drifted toward where Hestia had disappeared.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCT0iMSmW8
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3RfHp9g7f
"What did she mean?" he asked. "About demons. What are they?" 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a6w4vsUhS
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryBUxBjWsx
Esrin opened her mouth to answer— 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVFcIPOj3E
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjVyG4Tem
Then her head snapped sideways. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLY3sISsr
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFc0yi9rer
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CSGRbDhFT
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEt33ktc23
"What—"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLmlHPo71f
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEG29SJiuh
A bell tolled.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhUSzwHobp
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMBDijW5ch
Deep. Resonant. The sound rolled across the Academy grounds from somewhere in the city.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETlTuGjqQ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjuFQLJdez
Once. Twice. Three times.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYYz3Scu45
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU5qPe94Yt
Cel's brow furrowed. "What is that?"81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXvVUYc1l9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R3NFvHjSq
"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."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv5VndMn91
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN6d4r97sY
"What opportun—" 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj64OfKGVz
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgneQthvFJ
Then the world lurched.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMTozlHoIr
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fvUZHIQNP
Wind screamed past his ears. The training ground was gone - replaced by open sky stretching in every direction. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsH83b8ZlC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9UhY2MVZj
Esrin held him like a cat - one hand gripping his collar, his entire body dangling uselessly in her grasp.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsuctOE4VZ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHftMTek7
Terror flooded through him in cold waves.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeVU9qCeXi
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyQXxgpsXH
'Too high too high too high—'81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli6fJCOMLi
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9PSPJJmNI
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.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOqS15IdzD
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T88GxllJe
Esrin ignored him completely. Her ruby eyes scanned the landscape ahead with clinical precision, tracking something he couldn't see.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgTZp75kbI
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLP6zQy7hv
"There."81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdmsPhZln
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ioANFYWyR
She banked sharply. Cel's body swung out from the momentum, gravity trying its best to claim him. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9WLAQOTVy
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oFqnYfcWE
He was going to die. Going to fall. Going to— 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWTKcTpmpU
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9BkApMGrp
Impact. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuUfBpmiST
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotuxHZ5w0X
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. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYSESV9WJp
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI57WQfPI9
Solid ground. Beautiful, wonderful, stable ground. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0mc8H6M2D
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTEsIRF0RF
Slowly - so slowly - his breathing steadied. His vision stopped swimming. He pushed himself upright on shaking arms. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqrhZFEVPZ
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28fY2NofE
And froze. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV28CEloYAn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvtyeSajFv
Reality had split open ahead of him - a wound hanging in the air above empty ground. 81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6sjYOgsyn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM0absVu6T
A rift.81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclb2dWFG5w
