He Said We Could...

When Candle and Vice appeared, it was no surprise that both were shaken. The last time they had been in the world, they had been on the verge of dying and even now, both were still severely wounded. 

Everything within the snowglobe was frozen, even their thoughts. The good news was that they didn't experience any time passing so they hadn't felt confined. But, the bad news was that the moment they saw Leonel's face, they panicked and almost unleashed their strength once again. 

Fortunately, though, they had obviously had no improvement in the last three or so years, while Leonel himself was on a completely different level. Just a flicker of Leonel's pale violet eyes made the pair freeze, their bodies trembling beneath his presence.
