Just as Elira's hand was about to strike Zenith's face, it stopped mid-air.
"Eh—?!"
She felt a firm grip around her wrist and turned to see Lucian holding her back.
Darling, she tried to—"
"I know. But that's enough…"
For a few seconds, Elira just looks into his eyes, then sighs and pulls her hand back... as she does, her bloodlust begins to fade...
The two teams that had been standing at a distance finally stepped closer. They didn't want any pointless fighting either... or for things to escalate any further.
though the tension was still there.
Zenith had not moved, lowering her hand but keeping her eyes locked on Lucian when she spoke, her voice coming out strained.
"Hey, do you really think I'll just let this go? You injured three of my teammates, and you expect me to just walk away?"
Her aura flared...
Standing on the sidelines, Selene and Kaelen both squawked in fear.
