Smash!
The sound of glaive on flesh didn't not happen instead it was akin to metal on metal.
Smash!
Several more metallic clashing sounds happened a moment after the first.
The young boy and girl opened their eyes, they were confused, they were still alive.
They looked at one another blinking rapidly before looking up at Frost asking why this was so.
"Haaaaaa" Frost sighed deeply before once again kneeling to bring his face level to the girl's.
"I'm not about to kill some defenceless little kids especially when they're still full of fighting spirit." Frost gently rubbed their heads while smiling warmly. He cleaved apart the chains that bound the two kids to the room. Severing them from their jail.
Even if he couldn't aid with the slave chokers or that malevolent tattoo, he wasn't alone. Ryuu was a very experienced and adept mage so surely, he'd be able to help and even if he couldn't Maya might.
