The feared Naxon Smirked, narrowing his eyes in a feeling that someone was hidden nearby. With the tilt of his head, he darted forward, and in an instant appeared right before them. No matter how Lefn tried to make their hiding spot weigh down, the Naxon broke it like glass. His gaze fell upon Leon, Aiko, and Lefn, and Aiko screamed loudly.
Far out to sea, Luca was flying through the air, approaching land, when he heard the scream—a girl's scream, faint but unmistakable. He altered course, breaking the sound barrier as he sped toward the origin of the sound.
"What do we have here? Fresh food?" The Naxon hissed, his tongue snaking out of his mouth like a serpent, licking his sharp teeth in preparation for the strike. But before he could, something landed in front of him with a thunderous crash.
