A black orb formed in the small space between Nix and Sinfaya, it exploded almost immediately causing his Earth Shield to fracture. The Inferno leader was tossed into the air, he activated his bloodline and landed safely a few meters away from his opponent who was climbing unsteadily to her feet.
"You are working with Khione?"
"What?" Sinfaya's pale face showed both pain and anger, she had one hand pressed to her chest. "That really hurt!"
Nix stared for a moment, the dragon's face scrunched up like she was going to cry. "The hell are you doing?"
Sinfaya ignored him and healed her wound. "I'm part of the rebellion." She sniffed her nose loudly, her voice shaking with emotion.
"Er..." Nix frowned and took note of his surroundings. They were no longer in the valley outside of Belatora. "Where are we?" A quick look at his hud map told him that he was somewhere in Southern Oasis.
