It all happened so fast, Neveah could barely keep track and wolves were presumably faster than dragons in human form, but in this moment, Imagor proved that to be terribly wrong.
One minute he had just arrived at the hall, how he had even picked up on Neveah's whispered words were unknown to her but in the next moment, he made for Celeste, his eyes blazing with unmistakable killing intent.
At the next moment, Kirgan had restrained Imagor, also in a move swifter than Neveah could comprehend, but not before Imagor sent the dark fairy, Celeste flying across the room, where she crashed harshly into a pillar and then slumped down to the ground.
Neveah's ears twitched, picking up on the sound of cracking and snapping bones and she dearly hoped fairies were more tenacious than they looked.
An odd sense of relief settled on Neveah when her gaze zeroed in on visible heartbeats from Celeste...the dark fairy still lived, and all hope was not lost for Zephyr.
