Silas hit the rock hard.
His wings folded beneath him. Above, Cosmotaur raised an arm, blotting out the stars.
There was nowhere left to run.
As the fatal blow descended, something purple sprang from the rubble.
LUNUMBRO landed between them, a half-wolf, half-cat beast called a lycat of the Lunar Wilds.
The impact split the ground. Broken moonstone burst through the air.
But Lunumbro stood unscathed.
Through the settling dust, a second pair of eyes appeared.
Another beast stepped from the ruins. LUNUMBRA lowered herself beside Silas and pulled him onto her back.
Then the lycats ran.
