Third Wave
Dhruv began to panic, looking at the Vexar, who was still in the form of an egg, knowing that even the slightest scratch could mess up the Fragile process of evolution. On top of that, a mere half-hour remained before the next wave would flood the surroundings in a turmoil of combat—a scenario far from ideal for keeping an object as delicate as an egg safe.
But panicking isn't going to achieve anything, and Dhruv quickly realized that he needed a solution. He turned his attention to Alaric, formulating a plan in his mind before voicing it. With resolve, he spoke,
"Alaric, could you stay within my shadow, along with Vexar, throughout the entire duration of the wave?"
Hearing the words, Alaric began to tilt his head in disagreement.. "No, master, I can't keep any living being in the shadows yet. And If i do that, the living beings will begin to corrupt, slowly killing them."
