Nathan vs Gwen

Floating above the ruins of the house was a figure of great beauty. Her long blonde hair billowed in the wind, and her piercing green eyes locked onto Nathan with a cold, familiar intensity. She hovered gracefully.

It had been a while since he had last seen her as well. 

Gwen Lawrence.

Beside her was a small, green-haired creature, flitting about like a fairy, her wings shimmering faintly in the dim light. I recognized her from long ago, though her presence was still somewhat foreign to me.

Iphlea, her name was. Gwen's little companion, likely born of her SS rank skill. Since Gwen had obtained that power, it seemed she had gained more than just strength—this tiny, whimsical creature had appeared at her side. The delicate figure of Iphlea floated closer, her wide eyes narrowing in my direction before they widened in astonishment.
