Monsters Lurking
The wolves howled into the darkened sky, their eerie cries slicing through the bitter wind.
Kai stood tall, his feet rooted firmly in the snow, and his hood whipped violently around him as he steeled himself for what was to come.
His breath misted in the cold air, his eyes narrowing with a focus that only came in moments like this.
Before him, the Monsters — dog-like creatures with jagged teeth and glowing eyes — stalked forward, their mouths dripping with frosty saliva.
Kai's fists clenched, the muscles in his arms taut with the promise of violence. He scanned the surrounding area, his sharp eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of movement.
It was then that he heard the soft shift in the air, a soft hum of energy. He turned his head just in time to see Kiara standing beside him, her body radiating with an ethereal glow, her soul energy crackling like a vibrant storm.
