Fury

Ryu's pupils constricted.

His first thought was that he did well by not allowing such a thing to happen within his body. The second thought he had was of the sheer violence of it all. The two had only barely cracked open their eyes, seemingly sensing a disturbance, and the result was immediate fury as though neither could stand to be in even remote proximity of one another.

However, at that moment, Ryu suddenly remembered something else.

This wasn't the first time his Bloodlines had awoken like this. In fact, the last time they had awoken, it wasn't to bluster and bloviate like they were doing now, trying to assert their dominance as though he was their Bloodline rather than the other way around.

The last time his Bloodlines opened their eyes was in an act of cowardice. They sensed the fury of the Heavens and they ran away with their tail tucked between their legs.
