Willow's eyes narrowed when she saw the strange state Hex was in. After a second of hesitation, she dashed over with the help of her wings.
She got in between Hex and the other two. She pointed her sword towards Hex threateningly.
Layla tilted her head so that she could peek over from Willow's side.
"Friend? Why are you blocking the way?"
Apollo looked up at Willow.
"What are you doing, Willow?"
As for Willow, she trembled.
"...Stay back."
Hex's body had stopped a meter or so from Willow's front. He awkwardly stood there, making one wonder what he would do next.
Willow's eyes narrowed while her grip on her sword tightened.
Then... Hex moved.
A gleam passed through Willow's eyes as battle intent raged within her.
...Then it disappeared like a puff of smoke.
A black claw had appeared from Hex's side. It waved enthusiastically, almost like a little kid greeting a close friend.
