The Villa (1)

Salazar's massive sword descended with a thud, its blue-tainted edge flinging droplets of blood onto the moss-covered stones. Lando, with a swift motion, removed his mask and teasingly called out, "Azia, time to rise and shine." In an instant, his eye glowed a radiant shade of green.

With a spirited tone, Azia responded, "Morning! Ready to show these Raglers what we're made of?" Lando's grin broadened, and Azia's jubilant, robotic voice resonated throughout the plaza.

Lando's mood shifted as he declared, "Time to get to work." As his vision took on a crimson hue, a Ragler, brandishing a sharp blade, lunged at him with a shrill cry. Lando deftly evaded the oncoming attack, and a red beam of energy shot from his eye, piercing the Ragler's chest. The creature fell, writhing, near the center of the plaza.
