"Retreat now, or die!"
Skaryn's fervent order brought the woman's attention back to the sky, after ignoring the shouts of Halmut for a few moments. She witnessed Halmut's change as he shrunk down to Skaryn's size. Along with all nearby Kustram citizens, the mother and daughter were in awe as Skaryn's form become demonic and oozed unfathomable power to compete with Halmut.
It was finally happening. The timeless question of who was stronger would finally be answered for them all to see. But that didn't make them feel any safer.
"Mommy… I'm scared…"
"Don't worry Lanee…" the mother whispered, pulling her daughter in tighter to hide her eyes. "We'll be safe, okay?"
"... okay…."
The wind blew as the two figures clashed after a dramatic pause. It startled them all as the attacks showed no signs of energy, just raw, physical strength.
"Die and shut up!"
