Chu and Ethry were getting frustrated. The 3 beings in front of them were extremely strange. They had no scent, no emotions, and no indications of anything. Most warriors knew of the subconscious movements that would lead to prediction of their foes but those 3 gave away nothing.
They responded in perfect sync to any attack and seemed to see the future. Cyntilla and Shoti reported the same with the 6 they were dealing with to a lesser degree. Those 6 were clearly human at least, if odd in their own ways.
Their faces for some reason were blurry. It was not a formation or any mental technique they could tell. They just did not seem to stick in the memory for some reason.
Fey took it all in but unlike the rest, she felt something more disturbing in her opponents. There was no heart in their movements. There was no sign of choosing either. They were like machines.
