In the middle of a peaceful forest, a blinding purple light ignited from the chest of a purple haired girl seated cross-legged in a small clearing.
From it, the petite figure of Lumindra burst forth, soaring high into the air and turning sharply to face a particular direction.
Zoey's eyes snapped open, following Lumindra's gaze into the sky.
"What happened?" she asked instantly, her heart pounding.
Lumindra's gaze was icy, her bloodthirsty aura blanketing the entire forest. It was as though she had spotted her greatest enemy. It was a look Zoey had never seen Lumindra wear before, not since the day they bonded.
But that wasn't what made Zoey's heart race. Her hands were trembling, and though there was nothing visibly threatening in her surroundings, she could feel it. It was Lumi.
Despite the aura of raw aggression Lumindra was exuding, Zoey could sense her true emotions. She was angry, and scared.
