"KIIKKIII!!"
The eagle's deafening screech reverberated through the air as it lunged towards Eli, its talons poised to strike.
Eli reacted quickly, crouching down and allowing Arlyne to intercept the creature's attack. With impeccable timing, Arlyne seized the eagle's sharp nails, forcefully pinning them to the ground with a strength that belied her size.
"Pearl!!" Eli's voice rang out.
Pearl, who had been lying in wait, sprung into action, leaping onto the eagle's massive form and seizing its flailing wing. "I'm on it!!!" she shouted in response, her determination unwavering as she grappled with the creature's thrashing movements.
As the bluish lightning crackled and sizzled around the eagle's body, Arlyne and Pearl remained unscathed..... their legs encased in cuff-like iron that grounded them securely to the earth. The electricity surged harmlessly through the iron, leaving them immune to its shocking effects.
