Otis's Perspective
"The shadows, it strikes from the shadows. What a terrifying power," I whispered, a mix of horror and awe coursing through me. My hand trembled as I reached for my wand, uncertainty flooding my mind. He might not target me immediately, being on the periphery, but I couldn't shake the feeling that he wouldn't leave the others unscathed. With a heavy heart, I steeled myself for what lay ahead, took a deep breath, and prepared to cast my spell.
