Brandon's fingers clenched around his daggers, and he lifted the blades.
'Now… who wants me dead?'
He glanced at Ayane and spoke "Ayane, stand beside Yeon and protect her."
Huh? She glanced at him over her shoulder "But-"
"Just listen to what I say; i can protect myself, she needs protection. She is not an awakener..."
Ayane glanced at the woman who was trembling in fear and nodded her head "Alright."
Before he could fully settle into the fight, a sharp streak tore through the air toward him.
The arrow cut across the dome, and Brandon quickly slashed his dagger.
The right-hand dagger sliced through the arrow.
CLANG!
The arrow shattered into two perfect halves and each fragment spun harmlessly before falling down to the ground.
Suddenly, the dome trembled and the barrier's surface writhed like liquid emerald energy.
From every side and from the edges of the distorted space, cloaked people poured in.
