Back to the present…
"Emery?" Rhyland uttered with a look of incomprehension on his face.
But the man did not so much as blink. Instead he turned to strike Rhyland with one swing of his razor sharp claws.
Rhyland barely had time to dodge.
"Emery! It's me Rhyland!" Rhyland cried out but the other man's expression did not change. Emery's face was blank.
SWISH
The unmasked assailant took another swing at Rhyland. And this time he caught the man's arms midair.
Quickly losing strength. Rhyland knew it would not be long before he was overpowered.
'I don't want to die here. Aubrey… I want to see her again." He thought.
Suddenly Emery seemed to pause and the hands that aimed to strike at Rhyland fell to the side.
Then miraculously, the man turned away from Rhyland and fled out of the balcony.
It all happened in a matter of seconds.
Just like that the fight ended.
