Silas rose before the gigantic Cosmotaur, wings spread wide.
Below, Lunumbro and Lunumbra stood together.
His mind reached for theirs.
He felt no resistance. The wild wolf-cats lifted their faces willingly, opening their spirits to him. They had saved his life. Now they entrusted him with their own.
Purple energy streamed from Lunumbro. Pink light poured from Lunumbra.
Silas drew both currents skyward.
Above the trembling ruins, their spirits joined.
A colossal purple and pink lycat head took shape, its eyes blazing, its open jaws wide enough to swallow the giant.
Silas hurled the spectre forward.
The lycat swept across the crater, jaws opening wider as the giant raised his arms against it.
Then they snapped shut.
