I was already moving. Wave Motion lit up in my feet and the kama filled my right hand and Sensory Hijack slid into the alpha's nervous system like a thread through a needle, the same way it had threaded into Addison twelve hours ago except this time I wasn't trying to make anyone feel good.
the ability latched onto the creature's pain receptors and I dialed them past ten. Every injury the alpha had taken, every cut from fire and blade and death mana, suddenly screamed at volumes the creature's natural tolerance couldn't begin to process.
The alpha howled. The sound cracked stone somewhere upstream. The water around its legs started boiling from Blair's residual heat, and the creature thrashed in the shallows with enough violence to send water in arcs that nearly dragged me under just from proximity.
