Puppets Attack

Ari released the arrows from his bow but it didn't make a difference with the alicornuss charging at them at full speed. Red could only move to defend herself with the sword for they didn't have time to step away from the daemon-controlled beast.

The alicornuss has turned into one of Vaya's living puppets.

Red and Ari felt an electric buzz in the air, the static making the hairs on their head rise up.

In a blink of an eye, someone with tall and broad shoulders suddenly stepped between the two and the alicornuss. A black cloak fluttered in the air and Ari recognized the familiar electric blue of his commander's hair.

"Commander Lexus?!" he almost screamed. "What are you doing in the middle of the trial?"

Lexus did not reply to Ari. He had just barely managed to stop the alicornuss from its attack.
