The silence didn't last long.
It shattered like glass when the guards, driven by instinct rather than thought, charged at me.
Their blades gleamed under the sun, their boots sounding loud across the stoned floor, and the panic in their souls called to me louder than their war cries.
But I didn't move.
Not at first.
I stood perfectly still, the corpse of the first man I siphoned still cooling behind my figure.
I could see Pixie trembling behind me with her broken horns and cracked lips, but knew that I had to fight them and somehow excape this place.
Only if the two of us left this country and settled soemwhere safe could we leave this life of pain and suffering.
Venus's piercing gaze burned into my skin but I didn't waver, I couldn't.
Looking at another guard trying to hold his sword up against me, I couldn't help but let out again.
"Soul Siphoning."
