Fang, the Eternal Flame Faebeast, charged toward them, its body ablaze with molten lava that dripped from patches of its scorched fur. Every stomp of its massive paws caused the ground to tremble.
"We need to control him!" one of the Knights shouted as they sprinted toward Fang, seemingly forgetting about Broken and Ivana entirely. Their focus had shifted to stopping the rampaging beast.
Broken quickly noticed that in their panic, the Knights had left Cedric and Cecilia unguarded, and the barrier around them had dissipated.
"Ivana, Polly, follow me," Broken commanded. The three of them raced toward Cedric and Cecilia.
Cecilia stood frozen in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief as she watched their father, Fang, tearing through the landscape.
"Father…" she whispered.
Cedric, though shaken, was more composed. "Father has incredible power," he said grimly. "I don't think the Knights can handle him on their own."
