"We can't retreat." Alex calmly intoned as he stood in the snowstorm with Charlotte standing before him and an unknown Clown seeking to end him.
As he donned the guise of Hunter with a simple thought, He could detect a sense of madness within those eyes, and with Mindscape, it was easy to grasp that the other party was being mind-controlled.
But master, you are ill-equipped for combat.
Charlotte pointed out softly, unwilling to bruise her master's ego.
Alex understood her sentiment and perhaps, a moment ago, that would have been the case.
But now… now things were different.
Alex hadn't understood the gravity of how badly he'd been weakened following the loss of his previous progress along the Human Wheel, but now, having regained more of his Abilities, he understood it quite clearly.
He glanced at his palm and then… he snapped.
The Clown moved, seemingly attempting to attack Alex with Charlotte moving to intercept her.
