Family dispute (part 2)

Loraz's fists accelerated, pushing the last of Fay's sparks away. By now, Fay didn't even have the time to send a new wave of her aura to try to contend with her father again. 

And right as I started to sense first hints of panic and unrest in Fay's soul, I reached out and put my hand on her shoulder… 

Only to jerk her to the back, removing her from the path of her father's aura-coated fist. 

"It's okay," I spoke silently, more through our bond than through my lips, "let me deal with him."

Just a few moments ago, I couldn't do anything about this man. The difference in raw strength between the two of us was simply too great. Too overwhelming. And just a single strike of his was enough to send me out of commission for a good while.
