Soren Phoenix watched the elder's panicked retreating back, irritably tugging at his collar.
He turned around to glance outside Pyralia, his fiery red feather robe dazzling in the morning light.
"Little female…"
He muttered to himself in a low voice, "You'd better run fast, and keep your distance."

The morning dew dampened her hair tips, and her Invisibility Cloak was already stowed away in her system backpack.
"Luna, the cave is just ahead."
Zeke slowed his steps, his emerald green wolf eyes looking forward as he spoke in human language.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly lunged out from behind the rock wall.
Mael Valerius flicked his Dragon Tail around Luna Sutton's waist, yanking her straight off the wolf's back: "Luna, where did you two go? I came back and you'd vanished."
