The creature let out a low, distorted sound before it blew a powerful gust of wind toward them.
Fwoooosh!
A thick cloud of dark smoke burst from its body and rushed straight at them.
"Watch out!" Calen shouted.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. The smoke swallowed them in seconds. Roxanna quickly covered her nose and mouth, coughing as the strange fog wrapped around her.
It had no smell, but something about it felt terribly wrong. The air was icy cold, and every breath felt heavy, as if the smoke was trying to suffocate them.
When the smoke finally started to thin, Roxanna quickly turned to look at her husbands. "Calen! Azul—"
Roxanna widened her eyes, and her voice froze in her throat because the figures standing beside her were gone and had been replaced by two creatures she had never expected.
"Yip…?"
