Fire explosions erupted across the clearing, the intense heat and light turning the battlefield into chaos. Sparks flew and smoke billowed, filling the air with the acrid scent of burning debris.
Through the inferno, a lone figure was suddenly launched into the sky. It was none other than Erend. His body hurtled upward, spinning through the air, as he had taken a devastating blow from the black gorilla.
His wings flared open as he tried to stabilize himself, but the black gorilla wasn't done.
With an earth-shaking leap the gorilla followed him, jumping impossibly high. It caught up to Erend in midair and before Erend could regain his footing, the gorilla swung a massive fist at him again, striking him in the chest with terrible force.
The blow sent Erend flying even higher, the impact forcing a grunt from his lips. The black gorilla grinned in triumph.
