Sneik’s voice cut through the momentary serenity, its venom clear as day. “Look at the two of you,” he sneered, his words dripping with disdain. “Finding strength in each other? It’s pathetic.” His gaze locked onto Nova with malicious intent, “When I’m done with him,” he pointed at me with a blood-soaked hand, “I’ll come for you. I promise you, my bed won’t be kind.”
Nova’s grip on my hand tightened, her anger palpable.
But we remained silent, drawing strength from each other, refusing to let his words break our concentration.
My attention was drawn to the shared cage of our spirit animals.
Their forms were a whirlwind of emotions and energy, circling and entwining in an intricate dance.
The tiger’s ferocious growl mixed with the piercing cries of the birds and the low hum of the octopi.
It was a cacophony, a symphony, a testament to the merging of two souls bound by love and shared purpose.
As they circled, their forms started to blend, creating an iridescent glow that grew brighter with every passing second.
The light was a combination of all our animals’ colors, a dazzling spectacle that pulsed with life and energy.
The very air around us seemed to vibrate, charged with a force unseen but deeply felt.
Erys, Sneik’s support, his face slick with sweat, was visibly struggling.
His eyes bulged, and his hands trembled as he attempted to maintain the psychic prison. “I… I can’t…” he gasped, desperation evident in his voice. “It’s too much!”
Sneik, momentarily distracted by our spectacle, turned to Erys with fury in his eyes. “Hold it!” he barked. “You promised you could control them!”
But it was clear that whatever was happening was beyond any of their control.
The energy emanating from the combined spirit animals was unlike anything I had ever felt before.
The glow became blindingly bright, filling the entire pit, and making it impossible to look directly at it.
The heat emanating from the cage was intense, a warm, enveloping sensation that tingled on my skin.
Nova and I stood, hand in hand, facing this luminous entity.
Even with my eyes squeezed shut, I could see the brightness behind my lids, a radiant white that felt pure and cleansing.
The world around us became silent, the only sound being the harmonious hum of the converging energies.
Suddenly, a resounding crack echoed throughout the pit, followed by the overwhelmed scream of Erys. “I can’t hold it! I can’t—”
His voice was cut off by the overwhelming force that was now unleashed.
As the luminous energy exploded, a wave of pure, unbridled power surged forth.
Time seemed to stretch, each second feeling like an eternity.
I felt the force of the explosion, not as something destructive but as a liberating energy that sought to break the chains of oppression and evil.
In that ethereal moment, as the world around us was bathed in blinding light, I felt more connected to Nova than ever before.
Our spirits, our very essences, had come together in a way I had never imagined possible.
We had tapped into a force greater than ourselves, greater than any adversary we could ever face.
As the light dimmed, a profound silence descended upon the pit, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
