the cloak rang out clearly. “Destroy everything in the

Lira tugged on Kian's arm. “We have to go now!”

“Wait, Lira! We can't just leave the village!” Kian
looked at Lira with a face full of doubt.

“Listen, Kian. If we die here, no one can save this

village. We have to get help or something!”

Lira spoke quickly, her face full of stress.

towards them. Kian reflexively raised his knife, parrying
the attack with a shudder. The creature jumped back,

preparing to attack again.

“Run, Lira!” shouted Kian as he tried to block the

creature's attack.
