Nathira lowered her stance slightly, as if preparing to unsheathe a nonexistent katana.
She had seen this move more times than she could count.
The same move Arthur had taught Cassie.
In a split second, she drew against the air, and a large golden arc ripped through the darkness, cleaving the space in half.
The void cracked, and a radiant seam of light poured through, splitting the domain into a vast semi-sphere.
As soon as the split in space appeared, a soft baritone voice spoke out:
"You still got it, little sis."
Nathira, Sylvia, and Echidna raised their gazes to the two figures who appeared in the rift above.
A handsome young man with long black hair and sharp red eyes.
Wrapped in his arms was an equally stunning woman with blonde hair and green eyes.
The man's lips curved in a knowing smile. "And it's nice to see you, Sylvia."
Sylvia's expression was like ice. "Can't say the same for you two."
