The Counter (1)

Neo stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard the shrill cry. He looked toward the island's northern direction just in time when the powerful aura that came with a fierce gale of wind swept through the whole surrounding.

[The Royal Army set up an array around the baby Echidna's territory, probably to ensure none of you can interrupt or interfere while they deal with it.
