Grey Skill 8

Caera and I exchanged a wary glance and started to follow my feline mentor toward her hut when a shadow blurred toward us.

Left Tooth and two of his lackeys darted past my companion and lunged toward me, his jagged aether claws humming balefully.

My foot snapped out in a front kick but he shadow stepped at the last instant. I was ready for this, my vision swirling with the aetheric paths, feeding me the route that Left Tooth had taken. I drove my elbow back, catching him in the side of the head and knocking him to the ground.

Caera had managed to block the slashing claws of the second Shadow Claw, and I grabbed a third mid-teleport and slammed him into the ground. Pain exploded from my calf, and I twisted away from Left Tooth’s claws as he darted away.

Regis! Now would be a great time to be useful, I snapped, only to be met with silence.
