Sharp air flew around Leon as Vaelith dashed through him like a shadow with veins. He froze in the air when the last feather of Vaelith vanished from his skin.
Leon's eyes widened while a mixture of blood and water gushed out of his mouth. Behind him, heated air hammered on his neck. 'What is happening to my body?'
He tried to move his arms, but they didn't obey him. Only his eyes spiraled around in their sockets.
"Your mind demands a fight, but your cells recognize their creator." Vaelith slammed a heavy hand on Leon's right shoulder. The impact sent Leon crashing onto the ground beneath him.
Dust burst upward as the earth folded inward like a piece of paper.
"Leon, we need you."
Zoe's voice echoed in Leon's head and charged his muscles when his dual heart began to slow drastically.
Warm blood trailed down from his forehead to his chest while his eyes slowly cracked open. "I, I'm coming, Zoe."
