A shadow loomed above Kai.
HISS!!
A volcanic serpent, leapt towards his head baring fangs.
Eyes glowing like magma.
'Shit!'
Kai cursed, inwardly.
It was only few inches away, just about to bite, but—
HISSSS!!!
Another serpent slammed into it from the side, flames engulfing both creatures in a rolling inferno.
Kai blinked.
Then—
Kai chuckled low as a familiar voice came from behind.
"Need some help, brother?"
Riven stood at the edge of the clearing, hands tucked into his pockets, a familiar grin tugging at his lips.
His eyes locked on the blonde-haired boy perched up high on a branch.
A soft click of annoyance echoed nearby.
"Tch." Tristan's tongue flicked in frustration as the flame serpent slammed into his Volcanic Serpent mid-charge, knocking it back.
"Come, Nivex!" he barked.
Nivex stopped struggling, turned back obediently, and slithered over to Tristan's side.
