Violet
The wolves I had been holding in the air dropped to the ground.
Their bodies hit the sand with heavy thuds, and for a moment, I didn't understand what had happened. My syzygy had just... released them?
Not because I let go, but because the grip itself had vanished.
A numbing sensation spread through my chest like ice water pouring into my veins.
I staggered, pressing my hand to my chest. Something was wrong.
Then I felt Zephyr.
Her presence in my mind, which had been so vivid and fierce just moments ago, was dimming. Through our bond, I felt her confusion, her pain, and beneath it all, a creeping paralysis that was swallowing her from the inside out.
And it was also affecting me.
I immediately turned around.
