Nyra didn't wait for a signal. She stepped forward with her, wind already swirling around her. Zephyra followed, low to the ground, her body tense like a coiled spring.
As they neared the cave's mouth, Nyra whispered, "Let's make this quick."
Zephyra growled in agreement, then launched forward, her claws tearing into the dirt as she burst through the entrance.

The cold was brutal and fast, forcing them to struggle against the bind.
One of the others shouted, "Intruders! Capture the girl and burn the beast!"
